DIVERSITY & INTERNATIONALIZATION
Apply knowledge of cultural differences to matters of local,
regional, national, and international importance, including political, economic, and environmental issues.
The artifact below is a Powerpoint I developed for the Arapaho language class at the University of Wyoming. I want to focus particularly on the kinship terms that end on slide 8. I led the class in a discussion on kinship among the Arapaho compared to kinship among Euro-Americans. For example, a paternal uncle in Euro-American terms is called a father in Arapaho terms. Cousins are called brothers and sisters in Arapaho terms.
Between the PowerPoint and the discussion, I believe I have met ULO 6. I have compared kinship from the culture I am from with the kinship of the Arapaho. I can now make sense of conversations with my Arapaho friends when they are talking about family members.
