Hey All,
This will be a space for us to find information about our Unity Service Learning Projects for Spring 2011, connect with other participants and share opportunities and experiences.
The basics are:
1. Research a group/non-profit/organization/person that is working in an area that you feel is important to making this world a better place for all. Find out who they are, what their mission is, how is their budget raised and spent, etc. Also ask them what programs, services or trainings they have for Native Americans or just about issues that may impact Native Americans in their work (for example a environmental group, what do they know about treaty rights and tribal sovereignty).
2. Contact that group and see if you can be of any help within the next 5 weeks.
3. If you can then respectfully ask if they would participate in helping us share our beginning yet growing knowledge about Native Americans. We have some online videos from Native American sources, as well as "talk story" events and other options for trying to balance wanting to reinforce our learning, sharing important information and also honoring that many people are very busy and may not have the time or other issue.
4. Do the work,service, etc with the group, groups and keep a basic log/journal on dates, times, details that we can look back on at the end of the term and have some concrete idea of what we did, with whom and where, etc.
5. Get ready to celebrate and present some of our experiences at the planned Spaghetti Feed in early June.
Let me know if you have any questions, comments, concerns or other ideas: mestelle@cascadia.edu
