Pueblo Landscape~New England Landscape~St. Olaf Landscape

My ORC group discussed on Monday how St. Olaf had more similarities to the Pueblo Landscape than to New England Landscape.  I think that in reality, St. Olaf is a good mix of both.  In Pueblo Landscape, the focus was on nature and not separating the people from it, but bringing them closer to it.  In contrast, the New England Landscape were more in awe of nature and didn't try to incorporate nature into their Landscape, but they still appreciated it.  Pueblo schools used nature and play in ordinance with their teachings, but New England schools kept both school and play separate.  Looking back at both, I'm not exactly sure who had it right.  But I don't think it's a question of whether one group did things "right" or not... It's more a question of how both Landscapes are still used today.  At St. Olaf, I see the beauty of the nature around our campus- trees everywhere and the natural lands surrounding the campus- but ultimately, the classrooms are in buildings where we are meant to learn.  I feel like St. Olaf ultimately appreciates the beauty of our landscape, but doesn't regard it with the same importance that the Pueblo Indians did.
