Competency #1 Communication
Competency #1 Communication
Communication happens on several levels that starts in the organic brain and is formatted for the real world by the use of technology. A college education helps us to format ideas into Word on the computer to present our ideas and thoughts to others. Other examples include but are not limited to:
· Excel
· Video
· PowerPoint
· Adobe CS3
Learning to apply this college learned knowledge to post graduate life involves thoughts originating in the brain. A culmination of ideas based on my personal traditions of Creation Stories formatted into a computer program like PowerPoint and posted on the web for the global population to see. As it was in the past, only those fortunate enough to be within earshot would be able to listen to these stories, and then the imagination would come onto play to fill out the story in ones own mind. Everyone saw something different. Whereas with a computer program like PowerPoint, people see and hear only what the author wants them to and it is spread out across the globe in an instant so it is possible to reach millions of people at any given moment. Yes, the competency of communication is an essential one to master and is so much better when multi-media are used.

Competency #2 Quantitative Skills
Competency #2 Quantitative Skills
Mathematical reasoning is helpful in understanding what a person is dealing with and what level of education is needed to understand and deal with everyday problems.
· Limited Education, What a person is dealing with and what level of education is needed to understand and deal with everyday problems. Like how many quarts of milk are needed for the week
· Higher education, for how many board feet of cedar is needed to fill totem pole orders from 16 shops
This process also involves “Quantitative Literacy” for one needs to know how to interpret the mathematical symbols of formulas and apply them to graphs and tables. The written and spoken language of math is practically worthless unless a person can interpret and apply them to a format that is easily recognized by the un-educated public, such as a graph or table. An example would be the shop owner looking at a bar graph and saying: I have 144 totem poles in my inventory with six on the store shelf to be sold. Yes, Quantitative Skills are a vital element in the world.

Competency #3 Information Literacy
Competency #3 Information Literacy
Information Literacy are abilities necessary to evaluate what is needed, how to locate that need, evaluate then apply what was found. These processes involve;
· Resources available to the individual
· Research to obtain needed tools, information and formatting devices
· The necessary multimedia uses to show the research results in a publishable format
The resources that I personally use are the centuries old designs left behind by my Native ancestors and in the stories that are passed down through the generations in an Oral format. The most common places for my research to begin is with the elders of the community, libraries, and the physical items left behind, such as the carvings in museums and in private collections around the world. These collections are easily accessed through a computer via the World Wide Web. The data collected by me can then be applied through my carvings in wood, paper prints, and just recently, Story telling that will be made into mini movies and posted on the web. Information Literacy involves, resources, research, and finally formatting that data into a finished product to be viewed by the population of the world

Competency #4 Computer Usage
Competency #4 Computer Usage
Computer Usage happens most frequently with the use of email and online shopping. Most Americans have limited knowledge of the use of computers in the home to shop online and email their friends and relatives. Data can be collected and used for numerous things for business or personal uses.
· Commercial use for engineering
· Architecture
· Personal uses includes but are not limited to
· Yahoo for email
· EBay to sell, trade or buy
Computers in college are used for the above mentioned and also splits off into the direction of a virtual class room with the addition of online classes. I have learned in college the use of computers to translate programs into different formats such as, Photoshop, Dreamweaver, MovieMaker, and Audacity. That will alter my old fashioned orally told stories into mini movies and formulated to be applied online at different sites, such as SlideShow, YouTube and Photobucket. These formatted stories can then be accessed and viewed by the general public around the globe.
Computer Usage is a definite must when moving on from college.

Competency #5 Professional Behavior
Competency #5 Professional Behavior
This requires an individual to function in society with Integrity and operate under stress with tolerance and have a positive attitude while maintaining an above normal appearance.
· Tolerance
· Integrity
· Positive Attitude
· Appearance
Professional behavior is a must for me as I deal with art collectors and shop owners from all over the world. Having a high tolerance for the culturally uneducated when selling my work, comes to the forefront frequently. A positive attitude sets the proper tone in relaying vital information that gives background information to the art buyer. Such as, What is this piece I’m looking at? Where did it come from? What was it used for? What is it made out of? What tribe used it? Finally appearance plays a huge part in sales of Native art. One has to “Look” like a Native when selling a totem pole or mask.
Professional Behavior involves the use of integrity, tolerance and have a positive attitude with the proper appearance no matter what profession taken up post graduation.

Competency #6 Critical Thinking
Competency #6 Critical Thinking
This is the process to evaluate what is read or said then determine if that information is true. Can it be used or rejected for other things. I have learned that most of this process can be discarded in my art work as it involves the following
· Myth
· Legend
Art work based on myth or legend tends to be at the artists discretion on what the finished piece will consist of or portrayed as movie, wall hanging, or dance regalia. These finished art works include but are not limited to, movies, plaques, masks, puppets, prints or stories told orally. I have learned to reformat the media used, to be applied online in the form of PDF, JPEG, BITMAP and QuickTime Player movies.
Critical thinking used with these formats opens up a lot of avenues to be utilized when material collected and portrayed is based on myths and legends of the Native Americans.
