Presentations

We started presentations today, and they were pretty interesting.  I was really interested in Lindsey Mango's, with the essential question "Why do Native Americans stay on reservations when the conditions are so bad?"  Part of her answer was that many Native American people know that if they leave the reservations, they will lose their culture.  So they choose to live in squalor.  This shows how incredibly passionate many Native Americans are about their cultures; having a culture must really offer a lot to them if they're willing to forgo clean water and adequate living conditions to have it.  I wonder what it's like to have such a strong cultural identity.
