Imagine what
it would be like to live as the Native Americans first did.

Native Americans
Even though we live in the present it is possible to imagine
what it was life for Native Americans. Today it's called
roughing the outdoors or something like that but I was roughing
it today then it must have been the roughest for the Native
Americans. Out clothes are warm and more advanced while
their's were a thin sheet of animal hide. Predicting the
past is no easy task but it can be done by artifacts they
left behind. Helping us imagine what the harsh winter was
like and how difficult i was to catch food.
Roots: what ground me
- my mother and my brother
What supports me: my family and friends
My goals: to do what I can to make my life successful
What I give back: I give respect to everyone who shows me
respect

It is an established
fact that people of European-American descent are more likely
to use wilderness areas. Why do you think this is? Does your
family use wilderness areas. If no, why not? If so, how?
12.4.02
I think Europeans are mostly acquainted with the backlands
because once they first experienced nature and its beauty
it's hard to stop coming to it. Every time you visit the back
lands you learn something new. And I guess Europeans love
to learn.
My family and I have had the privilege
of camping out in the open because we heard it was a great
experience and to get away from the city.
I want to remember...
