Probably the best cultural competency documentary I've seen. Very powerful.
This video is precious to me. It is funny to Natives because we are so able to laugh at ourselves, not in the sense of ridicule or superiority, but of knowing the thought process and the way the web of life is reflected in the web of our thoughts. Life is not stagnant, neither are our thoughts.
I like that: Life is not stagnant, neither are our thoughts.....Marie-Helene
I love this video! I am an Inuit woman living and working in a western academic world and my thinking patterns are vastly different than those that surround me. Many of the folks in the video cannot easily give a one word answer - they need to explain, give context to their answers. This is so me! Its a great, funny, insightful way to highlight the differences in cultures.
This was wonderful! How insightful! It is sad to see how a majority culture assumes a linear way of thinking is the most effective and the most true...
Well I guess I have to reveal that we were all making fun of the many surveys that are done and that are not quite useful or maybe a bit not culturally appropriate...It is based on a real survey, same questions exactly, but people are acting...creating their own characters.
Curious. The people in this video were told repeatedly that their responses were confidential. Did they give permission for this to go viral? If not, why is it? If so, it might be important to add that note.
That'S is exactly right Nathaniel! Marie Helene, producer, director
Thank you for sharing this research. It was insightful. It was also encouraging. As a Native American who is in graduate school, I often get told that I am "difficult" because I see questions from so many angles that other students don't. I appreciate seeing that other people are the same. I am often told by professors, that I bring a lot of insight into the academic conversations, which enriches the learning of other students and the faculity as well. I have been enlightened by these participants and the way that they view the world. Thank you again.
Its "often" difficult to describe how people behave in one word because sometimes they do the thing, but when they behave in the opposite way it's for a completely different reason. I enjoyed seeing these conversations each time someone wasn't quite sure how to answer. Blessings to the Charlie Pisuk family!
Oh I love this...so funny and insightful! Thank you for making my afternoon....Many hugs to the family of Charlie Pisuk!!
