CULTURAL AWARENESS
Toya Blackhawk is an American Indian. Toya has just moved into your apartment building. You noticed her on the day she moved into the building: you didn’t make an effort to meet her at that time because she appeared to be busy with the movers and the family member that had come to help. Today you see her in the department adjacent to your workplace. You recognize her, and go over to introduce yourself. Toya looks at the floor during the introduction and barely acknowledges your presence. You let her know that you work in the adjacent workplace and you live in her apartment building. You suggest that she might want to ride to work with you as you have a company assigned parking space. Toya doesn’t really give you an answer. You return to your office. You see her after work in the elevator. She doesn’t acknowledge you. She just looks at the floor. As you exit the elevator, you ask her if she could use a lift home. She says yes: however, she barely says a word all the way home. You want to get acquainted.
