Review of The Interview  
Review by Oldwarrior
Rated: E | (4.5)
What a beautiful but chilling tale!
My big question would natutally be, why didn't the teacher inspire the students to appreciate this incredible interview more?
Were I teaching the class, I certainly would have.
This part...
"I sat there. Stunned. Totally, completely, stunned. I felt as if a huge, threatening cloud had moved overhead and blocked out the sun.
Had no one 'gotten it?' Not even Laura? The teacher came over and said that this was typical. It was too long ago and people forgot. Towers falling and best friends in Baghdad were more interesting. And in time, I wondered, would that story, too, be lost?"
...is even more frightening.
Are all Americans doomed to lose their cultural inheritance the same as the Native Americans are losing theirs?
What about the old quote, "Those who fail to learn from history - are doomed to repeat it?
I stand with you in awe of this interview and the apathetic response from students and teacher!

This was not only well written it was informative and gives an insite into your personal beliefs. This one sentence - One even bestowed upon me the great honor of becoming his firstborn’s godmother. - Is wonderful.
Native Americans do not bestow such honor unless they truly mean it and the person oon whom it is bestowed is fully accepted as a member of the family. It means they are putting their trust into you to not only learn NAI beliefs, but to teach their children beliefs from your heart,
The heart is more important than the teaching, because we make mistakes in teaching but the heart tells all.
Very well done, and welcome to the NAI class. We will all learn a lot from our class experience. As the old saying goes "Docendo Discimus" (We learn through teaching). This is one of my personal mottos and I think it does apply to all of us.
