Rincon Indian Reservation

I had no idea what I was going to be in store for this next trip at Rincon. I had been given the opportunity to do a video instead of taking pictures of the site of other students working in the field. As I arrived there were tools available as the purpose of this trip was to have a 'hands on' experience. It was very gratifying to see everyone working together as groups were assigned. As students from our Advance Digital class collaborated with the other class - it was nice to see the teamwork between the two as others would be alongside planning out where to plant and so forth. As everyone was being disbursed using the plot of land they had and how to execute the plants they wanted, they put them in various spots, digging and putting the plants while in the pots to measure up how big of a hole they needed. As I was filming, it was good to see a teamwork of students, taking turns digging, taking plants out of pots, photographing one another and so forth.

After I had a good amount of footage of everyone working together, I had an interview with our hostess, Kristie Orosco. She is a alumni of CSUSM and talked about how she had taken the class before. She touched on how the native culture was and their beliefs and as well as talking about the plants and about the surrounding area. Also, she went on and talked about how people get a different view compared to the assumptions that people normally have. Also. she went on and talked about how she had been very excited to have students help out as it is not a common opportunity for most.
