tribalography

A space where the stories of Native Americans have helped to influence the creation of what the Americas have grown to today. This is not a place with boundaries that can be seen or even crossed, but an infinitesimal space where the stories of a culture pushed to the sides has flourished.
"It is the eloquent act of unification that explains how America was created from a story. Native people created narratives that were histories and stories with the power to transform. I call this rhetorical space 'tribalography'." -- LeAnne Howe

Mock Trial

A college or high school club offered to those tough, dedicated , and intelligent indivisuals who like a bit of a challenge. For the most part, it is a club where one participates in a fake case as either an attorney or witness. It is extremely time consuming , exhausting, but all the while worth it to those awesome enough to handle it.
I'm in mock trial, I have no free time.

Trial of the Gods

In Scandinavian countries, to legally become an adult here you have to pass a trial associated with one of the gods. Three common ones are:

1.Every town square has a model of Thor’s hammer. If one boy or two girls are able to carry it around the square, they pass Thor’s Trial and become Disciples of Thor. They are successful as everything from coal miners to cannon fodder on the battlefield.

2.If you’re able to defeat the village elder in a game of intellect, like chess, you pass Odin’s Trial. Some of the hipper elders accept games like Starcraft and Magic the Gathering. The Disciples of Odin are often thought to all be nerds, but actually they have significant numbers of geeks as well.

3.If you pass one of the other trials by cheating, and it’s later admitted or discovered, you pass Loki’s Trial. The Disciples of Loki often go on to become successful businessmen and politicians, which ensures we don’t get laughed at for having really stupid people making terrible deals.
"I passed the Trial of the Gods."

"By cheating!"

"That's a valid way of passing."

"Why?"

"Because it shows I cheat well."

"Is that good?"

"If you can lift Thor's hammer, sure you can lift a hammer. But if you can make people think you can, you can make them think anything."

"Are either of those things as important as chess skills though?"

trial and error

One way to solve a problem.

A person will try something, get it wrong, learn from the mistakes, try again, and hopefully eventually get it right.
