The purpose of this learning activity was to teach undergraduate students about recreation and leisure experiences of the older members of the Lumbee Tribe who attended the local university. This activity utilized ethnographic interviews to teach students about the local community and college life for those from older generations. Ethnography is a valuable teaching tool for since it teaches students 1) how to conduct interviews, and 2) about contemporary history. In completing this activity, students were to learn what college was like in the past, what life was like in a rural, farming area, and about the contemporary history of leisure and recreational activities. The activity discusses the procedures undertaken by the instructor and the students and emergent domains. Recommendations for future use of the activity include: Finding informants with a connection to the institution, pre-selecting informants for the students, and proving an individual component for the group assignment.
