Student Reflection: Core Member Anne N. on her trip to Macy and Winnebago and Considers Maslow

Maslow says that for anyone to truly achieve human dignity there are steps that must be met, the first being basic needs such as food, shelter, and clothing. I was able to experience the truth of Maslow’s theory of hierarchy when I participated on a service trip to the Winnebago and Macy Indian reservations. Because of the high alcoholism and unemployment rates on the reservations these necessities too often fall short of anybody’s needs.
