In the early years we all began by teaching introductory courses and developing the curriculum. From the beginning we wrote the courses to be interdisciplinary and multicultural. Here are some interest areas and tutorials that you may want explore for augmentation to classroom work or out of independent interest. Some animals consume plants directly, while some animals consume animals thus benefit from the power plants indirectly. Also, this assumption renders the meat of undomesticated animals as sacred.
Humans consume both plants and animals.
It is the responsibility of those that kill and consume plants and animals to reciprocate with the giver of these gifts to maintain balance in the world in general and with power in particular. This particular view is what led to the fundamental differences between European Americans and Native Americans, especially in terms of religious attitudes and practices. For my work it is therefore essential to study these plant communities, which are the foundation to Native America's traditional culture. Here at Palomar College we held a multidisciplinary symposium that proved positive and informative for students. Here are the results of that 500th anniversary.
