Elk Bound Case Study

Black Elk explains the Lakota ideology and what it means to be native. Black Elk falls very ill. While ill, Black Elk has a vision known as “The Great Vision”(Neihardt 17 footnote 1). The Wasichus, a name for white people, start building the iron road, and the start of treaties being made. “Wherever we went the soldiers came to kill us”(Neihardt pg 105), this quote was spoken by Black Elk at the beginning of destruction of the Lakota Nation. Black Elk and his tribe leave for Grandmother’s land (Canada). While in Canada, the Lakota perform the Horse Dance. Cuts-to-pieces’ son was the first human to be healed by Black Elk, and after this miraculous deed happens his tribe performs the Heyoka ceremony. After the Heyoka ceremony, Black Elk performs the final part of his Great Vision. Black Elk travels over the big water and when Black Elk recovers from being sick, he then returns home to find his people dying from starvation and sickness. The messiah is introduced, and rumors are spreading that this man promises a new “better” world is coming, where all their loved-ones are alive and buffalo still roam. Historically known as the Massacre of Wounded Knee, Wasichus came into the native camp, at this time there were so few native tribes left that multiple tribes banded together and slaughter men women and children. This is when the Lakota Nation has one final battle against the U.S. Army. “Brothers, this is a very hard winter. The women and children are starving and

Get ready to cheer on your Chino Hills High Baseball team this year Huskies! Varsity coaches, Coach Kevin Chavez and Coach Sean Casey are looking to lead this year’s team to another winning season to capture first place in League.

The team’s biggest asset when it comes to winning will be playing “ small ball.” “ Small ball” is the element of the game that is seen as small, but effective,

The Aggie experience must be experienced: feeling fellow Aggies tugging you side to side as you sing “saw Varsity’s horns off’, hearing roar of the crowd and the boom of the cannon whenever the Aggies score, following the corp members down Military Walk as they carry the Yell Leaders the Fish Pond. Finally, the experience is topped off with the hysteria of finding a seat at Layne's afterwards to eat, making sure to tuck your ticket stub away for

Banner Elk, North Carolina, is not only nestled in the heart of the Appalachian mountains, but has been implanted into my heart and soul from an early age. From the surface, it is home to a little over 1,000 people, a small college, and a couple ski resorts, but to me it has much more to offer. A plethora of memories originate from experiences I have had there, which have cumulatively molded me into the young man I betray today.

Lane Spotted Elk is a Montana State University student from the tribe Northern Cheyenne/Crow. Lane has a strong social side of the health triangle. He worked at the Boys and Girls club which made a big impact in his life. OPI Honor Yourself Poster Series states that “‘I was at the point...I needed something bigger than myself.” So lane turned to the Boys and Girls club…” This quote shows that Lane had the ability to ask for help which is part of the health triangles social side. He actually took advice from other people, in his case the Boys and Girls club. “Lane...was nominated as a representative… and was named as the representative from Montana…” (OPI Honor Yourself Poster Series) This evidence makes it clear that Lane's Social side is strong,

According to FASB 840-10-25-6e: "Fees that are paid by the lessee to the owners of the special-purpose entity for structuring the lease transaction.

On that first Saturday in June 2012, my teammates and I fulfilled our life-long goals of winning a state championship together and proving to the people that did not believe in us that we could do it. On that day, those fifteen guys I had grown up through grade school with were no longer just teammates and friends, they became brothers to me. Another reason Huntington Park is so special to me is because I was the final pitcher in both championships, meaning I had the ball in my hand when the game was on the line. Standing on the mound in front of ten thousand people with all eyes looking at you is a nerve racking feeling but there was no better feeling then being the guy that our coach trusted to bring home the trophy for our team. Lastly, this baseball stadium known as Huntington Park is so special to me because after receiving that trophy and medal for winning the championship I also received my high school diploma at home plate because our team missed the graduation ceremony. There are not many people in the world that can say they received their high school diploma on the same field they won a state championship. Huntington Park may not be a special place for anyone else but it will always be a special place for my teammates and myself. Those two days our dreams became realities and that is something we will all look back and cherish forever. Whether it’s passing by the stadium in my car or attending a Columbus Clippers game during the summer time, any time I find myself back at Huntington Park I still get the chills from knowing I played on that

A little background I found on the author, John G. Neihardt, was that when he was little he moved around in the west a lot. While he was travelling in the west, after meeting his wife, he ran into Nicholas Black Elk, the Ogalala holy man, and would bring his visions to the world. The original book was published in 1932, and sold millions all over the world. The idea of the book was to recognize that not all Native Americans are going to kill you, and that it could introduce the idea of dreams with perceptive understandings. Standing Bear was in the room where the writing was taking place as a witness to tell that everything was true. While Neihardt was writing the book him and Black Elk became incredible friends and their friendship lasted

With the hopes that it wouldn't snow, I traveled to Silverton Colorado with my dad in October. My dad and I had six elk tags for the very first rifle season. We pulled our camp trailer down to a nice wooded area about five miles before you get into town. The camp sight was about a quarter mile off of the highway. There were trees all around the camping spot; the only break in the trees was where the road came through.

The cause of the local big game population dropping isn’t because animals are not reproducing. It is because wolves are killing too many big game animals and killing the ecosystem of the North Western United States. The population of Mule Deer in SouthEastern Idaho was cut in half in only 8 years, from 1995 to 2003 (IFG, 2006). What caused this sudden decline? Wolves did. Deer are not the only species suffering. Elk populations are seriously struggling to keep their numbers up. Wolves are killing them too fast and elk cannot keep up.

Wow! It’s hard to believe our Quiz Bowl season is almost over. We have one last match in our regular season against Tate on Tuesday. On March 29 we have a tournament where we will have the opportunity to quiz against other schools and surrounding districts. This will take place during the school day at a local church building. Students will get an excused absence and we will get to enjoy lunch at Pizza Parlour.

The elk enjoyed standing in the short beautiful grass. He loved to run in it all day. When he went to eat and drink he went right back to that spot. It turned winter, the elk saw a pile of snow and he liked it a lot. The elk was very lonely, he never had a relationship. One day he was walking by himself and a women elk was walking. He saw her and fell in love.

With that being said, we are looking forward to the first team get-together this Thursday, August 17th, 6pm at Diamond Hill Field. We understand it is very short notice, but with Opening Day scheduled for August 26th it does not give too many opportunities to get the team together before that first game and we believe this will be a great opportunity for the team to get to meet/know each other, and for the parents to do the same! We believe that the more the team gets to know each other, the better they will play together :) We
