In the play Ola Nā Iwi, by Victoria Nalani Kneubuhl, the importance of bones to Hawaiians is revealed through a riveting journey, following bones stolen from a museum, smuggled into Hawaii, switched between multiple people, almost being taken by Pua and finally ending at a resting place. Throughout the story characters use masks and deception to hide anything from their ethnicity, to their true intentions. Masking is used by Pua when she claims to be one hundred percent Hawaiian, when she hides her true intentions behind helping recover the bones, and when she claims to be doing everything for the greater good of Hawaiian people and it makes her less worthy of a human being.

I have a personal connection with the children in these areas because I am too come from a low income, impoverished, rural area. I understand the hardships that many kids will face because of the lack of educational resources and quality teachers. I believe that many of the obstacles can be abstained if each student is able to be impacted by a teacher who is resilient and passionate as I was impacted by Ms. Gloria Brantley. As a child growing up in rural Georgia I had no aspirations in furthering my education. I did not dream of being a doctor, teacher or lawyer because I did not have the encouragement from my family or other teachers. It was not until I met my sixth grade English teacher Ms. Brantley that I started to believe that I could actually do something with myself and that I did not have settle for the life that I was accustomed to. She saw the determination

Sakakawea or Sacajawea was a Lemhi Shoshone woman, who is well-famed for Leading Lewis and Clark on their famous expedition to find the Pacific Ocean through the Western United States, acting as an interpreter and guide. She traveled thousands of miles from North Dakota to the Pacific Ocean between 1804 and 1806, while bearing child in her womb. The National American Woman Suffrage Association of the early twentieth century adopted her as the symbol of women’s worth and independence, erecting several statues, and plaques in her memory, and doing much to spread the story of her accomplishments.

Queen, by Audrey Flack is a very captivating piece of artwork. It was painted in 1976, originally Audrey Flack took a picture and then used it as the basis for this painting. Queen is a painting of box that is full of special mementos. It has features such as a quarter of an open orange, a rose, a pocket watch, a queen playing card, a locket of an older and a younger woman, lip balm, perfume, a chess piece, blush, and a chain necklace with the letter “F” on it. The painting almost looks like a vanity drawer or a keepsake drawer. However, realizing the fruits and flower in the painting I understood it to be a collection of the artist's memories as opposed to a drawer. Audrey Flack was demonstrating the many things that were significant to her while aging. Queen signifies the fight against time. It shows that no matter what possessions you retain it will not keep you young. No one can win the battle against time.

Perhaps because they had “learned so much from life, from poverty, from their mothers and grandmothers” and because they had “been early awakened and made observant by coming at a tender age from an old country to a new” (Cather 127).  These girls show the readers how beneficial hard work and poverty can be to a person.  They were made strong because of the obstacles that they had overcome, and they were beautiful for this.  Jim is able to put their abstract pleasantness into words by equating them with poetry.  Somehow, the unique environment that these girls grew up under has made them into the poetry that they are.

Sacagawea was part of an American Indian tribe called “Shoshone”. When she was only 12 years old, she was kidnapped by the Hidatsa tribe and brought to their camp. The Hidatsa Indians sold her as a slave to a fur trader by the name of Toussaint Charbonneau. They got married to each other and gave birth to her son, Jean-Baptiste Charbonneau. Just when she gave birth to him, Lewis and Clark arrived to their area. Lewis and Clark saw how Sacagawea and her husband would be valuable to the expedition so they were added to the crew. She provided the crew with a steady food supply, medicine, and horses. Sacagawea was also a translator if they ever came across other tribes. When the ship crashed, she helped recover some other valuable items

The first thing learned is that poverty is a way of life for these children. Although they know they are poor, it doesn't bother them because everyone there is poor. It's okay to be without when there isn't any competition. An example of this is seen when the children talk of their study areas at home. Only one of them actually have a desk and paper, and the others think nothing of it. Instead they tell her to shut up about it. The children are proud of themselves and of their life.
