8/27/19 Reflection

After our class discussion Tuesday I have reflected on the discovery of Native American remains on the Harpeth Hall campus.  My parents have always talked about the presence of Native Americans in Tennessee especially because my mom taught fourth grade history, which is basically just Native American history, so it wasn't surprising to me that remains were found on campus.  The most shocking part in my opinion was the failure to recognize this discovery.  Especially on such a progressive campus such as Harpeth Hall I was confused that there is such secrecy about this.  Considering we have even the tree species labelled it seems strange we don't have the back of library marked to pay respects.  I am glad we have the chance to recognize and consider this history moving forward due to our work in class.
