Powwow Dancing

My project examines and explores the different types of Powwow dancing as well as taking a closer look at Native traditions. I present multiple types of dancing, the history and differences of each dance.
The Great Migration
An interactive map tracing the movements of Robert Pershing, a participant in the American Great Migration featured in Isabel Wilkerson's "The Warmth of Other Suns."
Redesigning the Minnesota State Flag
This project began with my desire to change our state flag. The current flag is problematic because it contains racist imagery, is nearly identical to half of the US state flags and because visually it is unappealing. I created a new flag after research into design principals and into emblematic images of Minnesota. In this new flag, the blue represents the lakes and rivers of Minnesota, the green represents the forests and nature, the white represents the cold and snow of the state, and the star is the state's motto, which is "L'Etoile du Nord" which is French for "the North Star"

Alumn
During my time at Avalon I was always encouraged to learn in a way that was most interesting to me. The focus on independent learning and the guiding of advisors on what could be an interesting approach to learning subjects made Avalon the best school that I have attended. Avalon was a great mixture of structured and independent learning that allowed me to take interesting courses on historical fiction, but also let me take topics into my own hands such as spending a year learning college math and working on making guides to help teach math to my peers in my advisory.
