W6: Children in cultural genocide, cultural revival

Week 6: Children in cultural genocide, cultural revival
This week we packed a lot in, taking time to look at language as a tool for cultural survival and the positioning of children in efforts for both cultural genocide by the US government and cultural revival by indigenous groups. Through their positioning we worked to understand the relationship between the Child and societal conceptualization of the future.
