week 5

this week i met a couple of times with my mentors about my project. they are excited and very encouraging and helpful about my future. opportunities and connections that my mentors suggest are opening alot of doors for me and at the same time giving "tough love". i have been glued to the internet, trying to figure out "salmon". i understand why it is important but not sure how to channel that information to an audience- who don't or kinda understand salmon relation to native americans. i guess i get frustrated when people don't have interest or don't care or try to understand the relationship between salmon and native americans. when people hear about my project or hear about tribal people,  i have to defend tribes, salmon, and rivers. i guess this would help prepare me to deal with the rest of the world.
