NHD Benchmark Reflection

            Johniera and I chose this topic because Ms. Laufenberg suggested when we were searching for project ideas. We chose to present it as a  documentary because there was an endless amount pictures available to us to show the Indian boarding schools and the affects they had amongst the students. We ran into trouble when my computer broke 3 weeks prior to when it was due, which limited us in having a lot of time to find pictures. Disregarding the stress that came along with it, the final product turned out nice. The collaboration and communication went well in our group. If I could do it over, I would add more video. I learned about the Native Americans and the trials and tribulations they went through, throughout the times of European explorers. I also learned about how their heritage was desecrated through the times because of the boarding schools.
