Boozhoo ginawaa!!
Glad to be back in the blogging game once again. My intention for this blog is to facilitate discussion regarding Special Education and American Indians. I hope we can share information and generate momentum toward change for our families!!

Thank you Aquila for sharing these resources!
I would recommend www.pacer.org as a web site resource for any parent concerned (or confused) about their child and Special Education. The site has lots of information, important support contacts, and printable resources to provide understanding of the laws, rights, and procedures surrounding Special Education.
I'm wondering how in the world I did this!!
Gaye, biindigen (welcome)to the world of blogging! And a photo too??!!! Howah.

Nice blog-- is it niizho becuase it's your second blog, or are you the second born child?
Hey everyone! I, much like Gaye, am amazed I actually got this far. I am so new to so much of this technology and it's scary to leave my comfort zone, but in the long run it's going to be such a valuable skill :)
Matthew, yes it is my second blog. My first I abondoned long ago. The name is blog bezhig (one). If you could see it you would see how scared and confused I was...
This is my response to the 3 readings for this week... I walked away from this reading with a really strong sense that although we come from many different cultures we share so many of the same experiences with our families and communities. I often feel in this program that we are looking at the differences between Native and European cultures in trying to understand how to serve Native children in our schools (which is definitely important in its own right), but these readings were a great reminder of how alike we all are as human beings, and what an asset that can be when working with families and children of all cultural backgrounds. We all love and laugh with our families (whatever our definition of family may be), we were all children once and experienced that sense of wonder, and we have all learned important lessons in our lives. Although all of these experiences are unique to the individual, I feel that there are common threads and there's something really beautiful and comforting in that.

Boozhoo all. I am not very tech savvy, so I hope that I will be able to figure this blogging thing out before the semester is over.
