Today the R2 group ventured out to the Newark Earthworks. We started the day at the Great Circle then we had lunch with the Director of the Native American Indian Center, Carol Walsh. She shared some great personal experiences with us about the Earthworks and about her job. After that we went to the Octagon Circle, which has sadly been turned into a golf course. It was very intersting to see how the circles were almost perfect and the lines were straight. It was also fascinating that the Great Circle had an opening that was perfectly aligned with the Sun to signify planting seasn and that the Octagon Circle ha specific alignments with the moon, although no one knows the reason behind that. Then we went to the Newark Earthworks Center where Kristin and her faculty partner, Dave Shields, are working on the Oral History Project. We talked a little about the project and the Earthworks and then headed home.
I have been working on my site ever since and am still working on it now. I underestimated how much time it would take to caption these videos.
We have to have our site uploaded at 9:00am tomorrow. I will upload it by then, but I know that I will be making changes to it all weekend.
I have another interview with Scott Lissner tomorrow because the sound on our first interview did not work. Other than that I will be working on the site all day.

Thanks for reading!
