    What a great place to choose, Samantha! Maybe you will want to use this class to learn about some of the Native traditions of California; there are some great resources online for stories told by the peoples of California, and we have a California/Southwest unit coming up in the UnTextbook. I grew up in Arizona, and going to the San Xavier Mission on a field trip in fourth grade was a HUGE experience for me; it made history suddenly very real in a way I had never understood before as a little kid. That mission has an article of its own at Wikipedia. All these years later, I still remember that field trip!

I really loved looking at ancient cultures by studying their heroes, their legends, and their religions. Even though my career path is heading in a far more technological direction, I hope this class will be a fun mix of technology and classical subject matter. My hobbies right now include buying paint supplies and watching Youtube videos ab...

Raven Meet the Young Boy One day, after Raven had shaped many animals out of the clay and made hills and trees for the earth plain, he chose to take a rest. He walked slowly along the shore near Man’s home and came upon Man’s young son playing in the grass outside the house. The young boy skipped and spun around playing by himself. Raven watched as the young boy picked up a stick from brandished it at the air, mimicking the hunters like his father. And Raven smiled at the boy. On and on the boy played an Raven delighted in watching his games. Raven decided he would make the boy laugh. As Raven approached, the young boy was startled from his imaginary game. In fear he shrunk away from Raven’s massive black form. Raven was surprised at the boy’s fear. He raised his beak, like a mask, and shed his Raven form so that we would look like the boy and his father. Then the boy was no afraid. But he did not smile. Raven wanted to make the boy laugh and he did not want his Raven form...
