While "Indian Canoe Makers vs. An Efficiency Expert" is about the change in factories to make things run quicker etc. I feel it is also a document that describes the decline of traditional customs, in this case for Native Americans. When a traditional craft like canoe making, quilting, instrument making etc is made in factories and taken out of their original setting, cultures that were associated with them start to decline as well or get replaced. Often times, as seen in the article, the new product is not made to the same standards as it originally was. -Lauren Milner | While "Indian Canoe Makers vs. An Efficiency Expert" is about the change in factories to make things run quicker etc. I feel it is also a document that describes the decline of traditional customs, in this case for Native Americans.

| + | I don't know what it was about the Laundress article, but for some reason it just kind of made me laugh.

It all just makes sense so it kind of makes me wonder, why didn't people think of this before? I know it's kind of a ridiculous question, but I mean, it all seems like such basic stuff. I guess it's that whole "hindsight is 20/20" thing. -Kelly W. | ||
