In the past few years teachers at UAI came up with the idea of doing an amazing search for Native Americans projects where students could be archeologists.
Native Americans are cool in so many ways. Their bodies have designs just like tattoos. Sometimes they have tattoos in some parts of their bodies too. They search for their own food and they respect nature. Native Americans use spears and bows and arrows to hunt for their food like fish and buffalo.
“I think I am starting to like learning about Native Americans this semester” said a UAI student.
Ms. Darby is one of the teachers who is working on a project about Native Americans with her class so the UAI Insider took some time to ask her a few questions to learn more about it.
Question: How do you feel about teaching young women about Native Americans?
Answer: I feel excited because I thinks it’s cool and there are lots of interesting stories.
Question: What college did you go to?
Answer: I went to University of Maryland and then to Columbia for Graduate School.
Question: Why did you choose to teach humanities?
Answer: I choose to teach humanities because I always wanted to teach history because I think it’s fascinating and you get to learn interesting stories of the past.
Question: If you and an archeologist were in a war who would win?
Answer: I think I would win if it was a teaching war.
Question: What are you teaching them next semester?
Answer: I am teaching students about exploration.
Question: Why did you choose to teach in this school?
Answer: I choose to teach at this school because this school is very important to me and I think education is empowering.

Answer: Yes, because I really enjoy doing it.
Question: Do the girls brighten your day and do you care for them with all your heart?
Answer: Yes of course I love them and they do brighten my day.
Special thanks to Ms. Darby for taking time out to speak with the UAI Insider.
