...attributable to the Indians of the Plains and the American Southwest through the 19th century. Some of these perspectives may be appropriate to other Native American tribes within North America. 1. The Pueblo culture is characterized by collectivistic, ritual emphasis under priestly direction. 2. The Plains Indians emphasize individual self-realization through aggressive fighting against outsiders and hallucinatory vision experiences. 3. The Pueblo Indians were gardeners, the Navaho practiced pastoralism, and the Plains Indians were hunter/gatherers depending on the buffalo for survival. The Comanche later engaged in horse herding. 4. Pueblo Indians reside in compact masonry villages with communal land ownership and ownership restricted to the privilege of use. The Navaho lived in widely dispersed hogans or lodges. The Plains Indians lived in tipis that could be easily disassembled and moved. 5. The Plains Indians treated the hunting grounds a public domain. Some tribes engaged in communal sharing of killed animals, particularly for the elderly, the infirm, and the wives of hunters who brought back nothing. 6. Trade was essential to survival. The Navaho traded in wood and wool, the Pueblo in maize, and the Plains Indians in tobacco, meat, and skins. 7. The Pueblo were noted for pottery making, the Navaho for weaving, the Plains Indians for buffalo hides and feathered bonnets. 8. The Plains Indians destroyed the property of...

...1837 Great Financial Crisis In 1837 the Eastern USA suffered an economic collapse. Many people lost their jobs, and as Banks went bust they also lost their savings. People were bankrupted and factories and businesses closed. The Mormons, whose Bank also collapsed ruining many non-believers, became one of the more popular scapegoats for the ruin. This resulted in many Mormons choosing to move West in the face of increasing violence. The increasing population had made land hard to come by. This combined with the desperation and increasing crime in the East forced people to consider moving West. The Crisis became a big PUSH factor in encouraging people to migrate westward. 1844 Joseph Smith Died As the Prophet and founder of the Mormon Church he was the leader of many thousands of believers. He led them in a desperate search for a safe haven for the community to settle. Smith would not lead his Mormons West as he thought it unfit to build the Zion for the coming of Jesus. Smith was shot dead in 1844 as he tried to escape from jail. Brigham Young was the new leader of the Mormons and chose to lead them West, to Great Salt Lake where they settled successfully. This was an important turning point for the Mormons. 1848 Gold Rush 1848!! Before Gold was discovered in 1848 by James Marshall, around 5,000 people per year were drifting west across the Great Plains. However with the discovery this increased tenfold by the following year.The 50,000 miners were hunting for...

...there wasn’t a better place to farm than in the Southern Plains, where women and men turned undomesticated grassland into one of the richest regions in the entire country. The rest of the country was struggling with the actual effects of the Great Depression, but in the wheat country, farmers were gaining a record breaking crop. With the beginning of World War I, the call for wheat had been beyond belief. Farmers were paid record prices. As a result, to the farmer, it made sense to turn every inch of the Southern Plains into profit. When the war was going on, the land produced millions of bushels of wheat and corn, which helped to feed America as well as several countries overseas. Farming practices that made the plains so creative were beginning to take a toll on the land. The grasslands was deeply plowed and planted. During the years when there was sufficient rainfall, the land manufactured plentiful crops. Though, as a drought that started in the early 1930s continued, farmers kept plowing and planting with gradually dreary outcomes. In the years 1930 and 1931, Oklahoma and Texas panhandles were known as the wealthiest states in the country. For plains farmers, the era opened with prosperity and growth. In the summer of 1931, the farmers challenged the most difficult eight years of their lives. The rain was finally over. It took a thousand years for Nature to build an inch of topsoil on the Southern Plains, but it took only minutes for one good blow to sweep it...

...How do Sneetches demonstrate discrimination? Sneetches demonstrate discrimination when Star-Belly Sneetches say “We’re the best kind of Sneetches on the beaches”, just because they have stars on their belly. Also, Star-Belly Sneetches think they are better than Plain-Belly Sneetches. For example, they would always play ball, have frankfurter roasts, picnics, parties, and marshmallow toasts without Plain-Belly Sneetches. Also, whenever the Plain-Belly Sneetches try to make everyone Star-Belly Sneetches, Star-Belly Sneetches will always try to make themselves better then Plain-Belly Sneetches so they can be the best.

...Inupiat Eskimo people are the Indigenous people of the Arctic Environment. Nevertheless, they still rely on the land and resources of the North Coastal Plain for food, shelter, culture, and economic well-being.” Secondly, in document D it states “The ANWR is determined to prevent development in even the smallest corner of the Arctic Coastal Plain. The only way we would want drilling to be done on only the private lands and island outside of the ANWR.” So consequently, this could potentially destroy the Alaskan Coastal Plain. The U.S. should not drill for oil in Alaska. Why? Firstly, charts have shown that the U.S. uses way too much oil than we need. So, oil consumption rates could be lowered without damaging Alaska’s environment by...

Things get much harder for people who have very low health literacy when the language used are unfamiliar. These difficulties are pointed out on the CDC article which states that low health literacy can affect a person’s ability to locate health care providers and services, fill out health forms, and managing chronic diseases. This is why the use of plain language is so important since it makes it easier for most adults to communicate with providers and understand essential informations about their health. Plain language uses the words that are familiar to almost all of...

...of the people who make their homes in this region. The Andes stretch some 5,500 miles (8,850 km) all the way from the Caribbean Sea to the southernmost tip of South America. At places in Peru and Bolivia the mountain range is nearly 500 miles (800 km) wide. Its rocky walls divide the Andean nations into three distinct environments: coastal plain, highlands, and forest. Coastal Plain Between the mountains and the sea, a narrow plain stretches along the entire Pacific coast from Colombia to the southern end of Chile. At some points it is no more than a sandy beach at the foot of the mountains; in other places it reaches inland for 100 miles (160 km). The Atacama Desert, the driest and one of the most lifeless places on earth, occupies the coastal plain in northern Chile. Because ocean winds lose their moisture blowing across the cold waters of the Peru Current, only dry air ever reaches the land, creating a desolate wasteland. The Atacama is so dry that archaeologists have found perfectly preserved relics from ancient times. These include colored textiles woven hundreds of years ago, ancient mud-brick dwellings, and even human mummies. The desert is rich in minerals, however. Coastal plains north and south of the Atacama get more rainfall. To the north, along the coast of Ecuador, lie oppressively hot and humid rain forests. To the south lies an area with a Mediterranean climate of hot, dry summers and mild, rainy winters. Highlands Inland from the coastal plain, the...

... The Dust Bowl. In the middle of the 19th century many people were traveling across the US looking for land to farm and make homes on. When they reach the Midwest they thought they had found paradise. The grass was tall and rich all the way from Canada to Texas. Men started to clear the land and started planting crops of wheat. The most ideal was the Southern Plains. The only down side was once the trees and grass was removed the top soil had nothing to hold it into place. The water from the ground that would have gone to the roots of the trees and grass flowed into nearby water ways, such as creeks and rivers. The southern plains were the place to be in the 1930’s. They grew wheat which the government was paying top dollar for because of World War I. The wheat and corn was used to help feed the soldiers and other countries as well as many Americans. In the summer of 1931 a great drought hit the southern plains, turning the once fertile ground into dry brittle dirt. But the lack of water was not the only reason the ground was so dry. The farming practices at that time were depleting the soil of all the nutrients needed to help crops grow. The drought did not stop farms from continuing to try and grow crops. They hoped that the rain would come any day. The lack of rain caused the slightest wind to carry the top layer of soil with it causing severe dust storms. Millions of acres of the plains in the south were turning into what looked like dessert lands...
