The ONE Hot Day

So probably the hottest day since we have been at the program, we went on a walking tour of the indigenous people's land. Quite honestly, I was so hot and icky I thought I was going to pass out at any moment. But the things that was interesting was the pipe at the Union. Apparently on all the original Union doors, there is a pipe on the handle, and Aaron told us a story about how the white students who where graduating would dress up as 'indians' and dance around a big bonfire and smoke from the pipe. I was really shocked that this happened, because it is really insulting.
After we were at the union we walked up bascum hill, and it seemed to take forever. We looked at some of the land that was important to the idigenous people, I particularly liked the bird, and found it crazy how for the other one, I don't remember what it was (a turtle?), the head was cut off because of lack of respect form earlier times, as well as the plack was wrong, and teachers were teaching right off it. When students went to change it, they were told that it is so old that the plack itself was a monument. I find this ridiculous!
After we saw the landmarks Aaron took pity on us and let us leave because it was so hot and it looked (at least to me) that people were going to fall over at any moment.
