“Don't be afraid to be afraid to cry it will free your mind from sorrowful thoughts.” - Hopi tribe This is an ancient Native american tribe quote from the Hopi’s. To me this quote means that you should not be afraid to express yourself. I think that expressing yourself is important because it lets people know how you feel. Also If you keep all your thoughts and sorrows to yourself they will build up and become something worse than what it already is. The proverb relates back to my family because on my dads side we are mostly native american. We do not take part in any native american religions however we do pass down the cultural stories. This quote comes from the Hopi tribe which had very similar ideals as the She Shawnee tribe which we
This was from the mind of young Grealy, the girl who had a depressed and angry mother, the mother that taught her that it was never okay to show weakness or cry (Grealy 30). Young Grealy believed that the way she earned acceptance during her first visit to the ER could carry over into her home life. I think that this moment encompassed all that Grealy was feeling at this time. The feeling that she was responsible for her mother’s unhappiness and depression, the feeling that if she showed she was not afraid, no one else in her family would be either, and the feeling that if she was not brave, her family would be unhappy forever. This was important because she felt that she had discovered a way to make her family whole again.
Zitkala-Sa was extremely passionate with her native background, and she was adamant on preserving her heritage. When Zitkala was a young girl, she attended White’s Manual Labor Institute, where she was immersed in a different way of life that was completely foreign and unjust to her. And this new way of life that the white settlers imposed on their home land made it extremely difficult for Native Americans to thrive and continue with their own culture. In Zitkala’s book American Indian Stories, Legends, and Other Writings, she uses traditional and personal Native stories to help shape her activism towards equality amongst these new settlers. Zitkala’s main life goal was to liberate her people and help

The American version of history blames the Native people for their ‘savage ' nature, for their failure to adhere to the ‘civilized norms ' of property ownership and individual rights that Christian people hold, and for their ‘brutality ' in defending themselves against the onslaught of non-Indian settlers. The message to Native people is simple: "If only you had been more like us, things might have been different for you.”

In the southwestern United States, above northern Arizona, are three mesas. The mesas create the home for the Hopi Indians. The Hopi have a deeply religious, isolated, tribal culture with a unique history.
Considering historical evidence, the notion: Native –Americans was not the first inhabitant of America is a complete false. For centuries, history kept accurate and vivid accounts of the first set of people who domiciled the western hemisphere. Judging by those records, below are the first set of Native-American people who inhabited America before the arrival of another human race; the Iroquois: The Iroquois of Native Americans was one of the tribes that lived in America before other people came. Based on historical evidence, it is believed that the Native Americans came from Asia way back during the Ice Age through a land bridge of the Bering Strait. When the Europeans first set foot in America, there were about 10 million Native Americans
...dian, you must fight for your nation and tribe and never give up. This proverb just shows how strong, fearless, and determined the Cheyenne Indians were because they basically say their nation cannot be conquered.
Like many Americans I initially grouped all Native Americans into one melting pot. During the Haskell Indian Nations cultural day, on June 21,st 2010, the speakers talked about how different tribes are not the same; they have different beliefs...
“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. You playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. We were all meant to shine, as children do. It’s not just in some of us it’s in everyone. And as we let our light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others”.
The quote “embracing that which makes you different, is what makes you most powerful and strong” was said by Darren Criss. Criss stated this quote at an interview about A Very Potter Musical in 2009 about up and coming stars. He was talking about doing something different, a parody musical on a popular franchise. Criss belonged to a theatre group ,Team Starkid, which was very different from other theatre or comedy groups. The quote means that showing what makes people different and not giving up knowing they’re different is what makes them the most powerful and strong. The quote goes along with society today because individuals try to hard to please society instead of what is successful for them. Many people have lived according to this quote
“Crying is all right in its way while it lasts. But you have to stop sooner or later, and then you still have to decide what to do.” (C.S. Lewis, The Silver Chair, 1953). Upon first reading this quote, it felt like my grieving period was validated and that I was being encouraged to find my way again through some big decisions that would need to be made.
“We have learned to live in a world where ‘reality’ is a matter of choice.” While choosing what we feel is real is based on what we actually want to see. Trying to over look reality can cause a person to imagine things that might not actually be there. When you do not see the reality of anything you get lost in a world of imagination. Although, imagination is the best entertainment, when relying on it too much you would not be able to see the world of how it truly is. Adventuring out into the world is very important because it generates learning and creates additional knowledge. A person’s apprehension is very necessary for the sake of a person progressing. It is important to blossom because it generates one’s self to recognize their place in the world and there society. An example of people being lost in reality can refer to The Star Spangled Banner and the poem “America.” One is a song that represents the United States of America and has a distinct meaning to our country. While the other however, shows the reality of the people who live in this Nation, and the problems America deals with daily.
I chose this quote because it is so germane to life. I think that this quote is pretty lucid; however, to me it means to never make the same mistake twice. Mistakes are all part of learning and becoming a better you. You can always improve until the day you aren't here on this earth anymore. Nothing is wrong with mistakes, unless you continue to make the same ones over
