It also had ancient artifacts from back in the day such as ancient cars, dresses, utensils, machines, beds and etc. Seeing the artifacts was very interesting to me because it enhances knowledge of their culture. The museum preserves artifacts of historical significance for the future generation.

State and local governments truly benefit off of people who are the voice of their community. These citizens do not sit around and do nothing about an issue that affects them. These citizens engage in political affairs such as neighborhood groups (Bowman and Kearney, 2014). For instance, some neighborhood groups are established to create a better place for everyone to live. These groups participate in issues that are going on around their community. Neighborhood associations have the ability to go to court about concerns on issues. There are also environmental groups, which work towards clean water and air, the use of natural resources, and protecting wildlife. Another organization is social justice. These advocates are determined to

It’s great and interactive for little kids, but for older kids it will only be good for about an hour or so. Children can do many hands on activities such as going into soda shops, caves, dressing up into older period clothing, be a news anchor, and to be a doctor or nurse in a hospital.

From January 20 to 23, I went to Santa Fe and San Ildefonso in New Mexico with Dr. Laughlin and my classmates. I was totally surprised by the architecture of the housing and the rich collection of Native American cultures. I expected to see traditional suburbs but instead I found almost everyone has built houses resembling traditional adobe homes which I had never seen. Houses, businesses, government buildings including museums are almost built in this style. The colors seem to blend in with the desert. One of the most exciting events I attended in New Mexico was the museum presentation of the Zuni tribe. Although we actually did not meet the Zuni tribe, we learned a lot about them because Dawn Kaufmann who is a guide at the Museum of
