Focusing on the Indigenous People of the Four Corners region, students will learn about the Navajo, Pueblo, Hopi and Apache. One of the tragedies of 19th century America is that the United States government turned a deaf ear on the Indigenous people, resulting in a brutal war and forced removal from their beloved homeland. The Navajo wished to live in peace and harmony, but their ways were misunderstood and flew in the face of Manifest Destiny. Because of their courage and endurance, and because white Americans finally began to listen, the Navajos regained much of their land. Today they are the largest tribal nation in the US. The Navajo Long Walk is an epic of tragedy and triumph all Americans should know. Covering the philosophy, culture, textiles, ceramics and dwellings of these tribes will broaden and deepen the students understanding of our original people and their ways. Sally Primm regularly visits and works with Friends of Navajoland in AZ, NM, UT and CO; her relationship with the people has brought her to grasp a different history. Independent work may be assigned, about 30 min/week on average. Instructor: Sally Primm.

This course will look at a few events and movements in history that were met with controversy and a broad range of viewpoints. We will start with a lesson on media literacy, helping students understand what constitutes fact-based news, fakes news and propaganda, as well as the political bias ranking on various journalism news outlets. In addition, we will discuss how politics and media sway public opinion. Through discussion and research, students will determine their own viewpoint on the event after carefully weighing all sides. This will not be a debate class as much as it is a discussion class, and an opportunity to share informed perspectives with maturity and a willingness to hear others. A range of opinion is expected and welcomed! Possible topics for this session include the Brown v. Board of Education case, the Vietnam War, and the Immigration and Nationality Act. Independent work may be assigned, about 30 min/week on average. Instructor: Melanie Ware. Max 10.

Do you love horses?  Would you like to learn or improve your skills in riding?  This unique class offers an incredible opportunity to learn about grooming, tacking, riding, ground management, and horse care while learning about boundaries.  Horses, like all living creatures, have boundaries.  You will learn how to read your horse’s signals and understand how those signals relate to the animal’s boundaries. You will learn to set your own boundaries as well.  Horsemanship tends to reduce stress, per a study done by Washington State University.  (Here’s an article on the “hard science” of the benefits of equestrian interaction).  This is not simply a riding course, although students will ride. Weekly lessons involve cooperative learning, incorporating a buddy system, and developing interactions between horses and students.  Students will learn to read the signals and emotions of the horses to better understand how to behave around them. Lessons will also incorporate horse anatomy, horse behaviors and emotional queues, and riding theory.  The course starts off by teaching the students safety around horses and progressively transitions to greater interaction with the animals. The lesson progression has students walking horses through obstacle courses, learning to tack the horse, and then riding. Once on the saddle, students will learn the fundamentals of control and communication. The class goals are to build student confidence, provide an opportunity for emotional growth, and provide for engagement with these amazing animals. Please note: Transportation arrangements for students already on site (Teen Center) will be provided, leaving from the Teen Center at 12:50 directly to Glory Reins, after a 20-minute break for lunch (students on-site must pack a lunch!). For students taking only this class, students should be dropped off directly at Glory Reins, unless prior arrangements are made. Important: students must pack water and sunscreen, wear long durable pants or jeans, and closed-toe, covered shoes that have heels (for stirrup placement). Supervising Instructor: Laura Erlig. Main Instruction provided by Glory Reins. Max: 8 students
