1.  List/discuss 2-4 important issues that Mr. Goldtooth raises in the video:

a. Introduction made by four clans. He lives in Shiprock and originally from White Cone, AZ.

b. He claims four generations of teaching starting with his wife, daughter, mother in-law, and granddaughter.

c. Dad's teaching to always beware of surroundings like neighbors and be willing to help.

Why did these issues stand out?

2. Four generations of Navajo Teachings

3. Dad’s teachings: Beware of surroundings, neighbors, offer help, education, and livestock.

@EvelynBileen -

I do not know which class you meant to post this question to.  However, this is a forum for talking about the operation of Canvas.

You need to find out where the post needs to be made in your class and make it there.
