Music Monday “LAND” Map Assignment: Self-Assessment

Map Assignment

Curricular Response

I chose the quote “This land ain’t your land” due to the fact that it is a direct comparison to the first song we listened to and how this land doesn’t belong to the settlers, it belongs to the people who were originally there. I chose to draw a picture of a sign reading “private property” because the settlers took their land, claimed it as their own, and then didn’t allow the original people to come onto said land.

Core Competency Self-Assessment

It wasn’t too difficult to create pictures and words to create meaning as I see myself as a creative person. Due The drawing of the vandalized house signifies the “ghettos” the colonisers forced them to live on. The skeleton shows how “anthropology shows the truth” about who was there first, and lastly, the torn treaty signifies that they don’t care about the treaty, they “still call them all crooks.”
