OK, took me a while to find a likely candidate.

Visit this link and read everything, especially the introduction, all the way to the end of the story called "The Lost Woman."  Carefully, with notes.  Like you're gonna get quizzed or something.

Let's take a break from reading and watch some video.  These are some different moments of "American Indian" attempts to struggle with the invisibility imposed on them by mainstream culture. Your job is to watch these and then write a brief response.  What did Native Americans want in the the 70s and 80s?  One page, single spaced.  Bring it with you to class. https://archive.org/details/theamericanindianspeaks https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2QUacU0I4yU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rcCKczj4aK4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xVANRroxuOo

OK.  Well, this is new. And we're not sure exactly how it will go.  The faculty is going to take next week to develop a plan, and then classes will resume after spring break...just not on campus. First of all, you should all buy corncob pipes.  The worst thing about actually being in a classroom is that you can't smoke a pipe.  Well, classrooms are in the pre-apocalyptic past.  Get a pipe. My hunch is that we won't try to have a "video" class on the same schedule as our old class.  Too many technical issues.  There may be some opportunities for audio meet-ups, perhaps in small groups at different times, to discuss stuff.  Maybe I'll sometimes record and post short "lectures" on various topics along the way.  I'll do office hours via phone or Skype.  But mostly, I'm guessing, we'll use a threaded text discussion here, or some other e-place.  And assignments can be emailed to me, or uploaded to a common folder. ...

Howdy.  Soon you will hear from the College, I think, or maybe you already have. Here's one detail to pick out that needs prompt attention. Whether you want to use your computer, your phone, or some other device, you should download a program (or app) called Microsoft TEAMS. It has many capabilities, and I'll tell you more about how we'll use them later. For now, download it, and try logging on.  You'll use the same username and password that you use for your normal Hendrix login. Since not every professor has "activated" their class on TEAMS, I don't know what you'll see when you login.  I'm just suggesting that you login and look around, to begin getting familiar with it.  That's it for now.  Stay safe.  Don't worry.  Get sunshine, or some rain on your head.  We're going to get through this.
