You are very welcome and while I do enjoy the name of Wally. Your full name of Wahleah is very impressive sounding, what culture is the name derived from it is very familiar sounding? Also, it is very nice to meet you Wahleah (a.k.a Wally) I guess I should say haha.

I believe I have a general idea of what you mean by conversations being a "waste of time" allow me to try and clear things up a little more if that 's okay. What would you consider to be an example of an irrelevant/insignificant subject? Also, do you not like discussing only negative "feelings" with someone or "feelings" in general? I only ask cause I wouldn 't want to ask any questions that would make you want to abandon this conversation as I am enjoying our talks and it seems

No, I don 't think you are unsympathetic or emotionless for not wanting to discuss feeling, you 're just trying to avoid an awkward conversation that does not need to happen at the time. I also try to avoid the negative energy of other when I can because it only hinders progress and doesn 't stimulate it.

Ah, I see, well at the end of the day Native American art like all others will hold ceremonial, financial, and cultural value or all three when the time and place are right. Curious, Native American art is sold illegally on the market? How so?

Interesting, I research into investing to real estate market and home design! My mother is very educated on the market. I will often ask her a lot of questions related to making purchases in the market; it tends to annoy her at times haha. However, that is the price you pay for knowledge! Are you interested in buying a home or just investing in real estate overall?

Tell me more about Sotheby 's the school. The way you describe it makes it sounds like an astounding

I have two favorite recipes that I enjoyed learning the most. The first is an Italian dish known as Layered Ratatouille for my Italian heritage. The second dish is the traditional Shepards Pie in related to my English and Scottish heritage. However, if I had to pick a style of food in which to cook in it would have to be Italian. Making a good career in the culinary world is no different than those of the art world. It all depends on where you place your focus, motivation, and strength. You may either end up in a higher up and elegant restaurant or the very opposite and end up in a fast food joint lol. I agree, in the sense that people who are pursuing the arts and expecting an instant stable career will be sadly mistaken to find that such professions are not easy to find and obtain. Sorrowfully, I have to agree with you in that people need to be careful if they are going to put themselves into debt for a degree in art. Do you think people should be going to school for degrees in business or engineering and not degrees such as liberal arts? May I ask, why do you pursue art if you believe finding a career will

    Native Americans have endured disease, colonization, and relocation from their homes. Much of their culture was drastically changed due to mission efforts and government intervention which led to massive acculturation. However, to claim that their culture was buried with their ancestors is a rather ignorant accusation. In other words, it was transformed to fit the view of modern society, but remaining in touch with their roots. To better understand this transformation, I have focused to analyze a painting by Oscar Howe (Native American) titled Rider which creates a unique blend of Native American and Western design.…

    After living among the Cherokee in North Georgia as a missionary, I have discovered that the Indian peoples are quite useful. They are all civilized in their own way and know how to work hard for the things that they receive. Their work and harvest skills are impeccable and would be an excellent asset to any community. Although many of the white settlers coming to Georgia wish to dispose of the Indians, it would ultimately be more beneficial for them to stay. The Indians should be able to stay and I am willing to do anything to make this a possibility.…

    The Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians are not the group of Cherokee Indians you usually hear about in history books. Many people are familiar with Cherokee Indians, but far too many people think that ALL Cherokees walked the Trail of Tears and ended up in present day Oklahoma during the mid 1800’s. Some Cherokee people agreed to the new laws, and together, 1,000 Cherokees purchased 57,000 acres of land of western North Carolina territory. Around 16,000 Cherokees left Appalachia on the Trail of Tears. In North Carolina, the Eastern Band of Cherokee Nation thrived and were able to keep their traditions and culture alive.…

    Native American culture has been slowly dying for a little over five centuries. It started in 1492 when Columbus sailed out on his historic voyage and it is still going on in present day America. Interactions between Native Americans and European settlers often resulted in the complete destruction of music considered “pagan” by the Europeans. Native people were continuously removed and relocated from their ancestral homelands, losing many of their mythologies and ancient music traditions in the process. The Native American people have tried to fight back numerous times but there numbers were decimated in the beginning with the introduction of diseases such as measles, typhus, and smallpox.…

    In America, we have freedom of religion and every religion is accepted, but that was not always the case when the Puritans tried to force their religion on the Indians. Religion is a touchy topic in our society today, but not as much as it was when the Puritans first came to the New World and tried to force the natives to their religion. This created a conflict that got so heated it was a cause of war. This conflict makes us wonder, who started the fighting? Did the natives do something to the puritans or did the puritans do something to the natives?…

    In the article, Tepper and Lindemann compare art degrees to other degrees based on employment, income and happiness. The article uses art degrees to suggest that although they may not make a lot of money, they are creative, flexible, and problem-solvers, which are one, qualities most jobs in America require and two, it allows them to be more intrinsically motivated. Although, most people they in there study said being creative is important, more people ranked being well off financially was more important to them. The article continues on by discussing, “Art Does Not Equal Money (And Art Students Know This) and “Yes, Money is Important!” This article is important to my project because it shows that individuals don’t necessarily pick their majors based on money.…

    For many people within the United States, identity is a crucial factor throughout their entire lives. One of the most controversial identities among the population consists of Native Americans. Although being here longer than anyone else, Native Americans now face conflict when having to prove their identities in the eyes of the Federal Government. The Federal Government recognizes certain tribes depending on a variety of criteria, but as far as individuals go, the criteria used becomes muddier and arbitrary. If you are recognized as a Native American in the United States, you are issued a C.D.I.B (Certificate of Degree of Indian Blood) card in order to prove yourself as a Native.…
