Today I went and met with my American Indian History Professor to learn more about the best ways to be respectful when portraying Native American Images. He was incredibly helpful in letting me know that the particular image and story that my group has chosen was from a Native American group that encouraged the telling of its stories, as long as it is done accurately and respectfully. He also brought up the possible idea of a backup if the creation story didn't pan out the way that was hoped. He showed me some print materials, and a website that deals with winter-counts, indicating that they could be something else that would be interesting to have people interpret. He offered his assistance for any other future questions that I may have about the Interactive Exhibit Project, and gave me the links and titles to the resources for the winter-counts, if I should choose to use them.
