Fair Bear Research Paper

The sound of gun fire echoed across the central plains like deafening crashes of thunder. The rich green grass was slowly turning red with blood, as Native Americans and the United states army were waging war at the battle of the Little Big Horn. Many people know that the Native Americans were victorious over the United states army, which was under the command of General George Custer, but few people know that Custer’s long journey to the Little Big Horn started in the heart of North Dakota, at Fort Abraham Lincoln. Today this beautiful Fort has been reconstructed to have both historical significance as well as a variety of recreational activities, and has been renamed Fort Abraham Lincoln state park. I will be talking about the reconstructed

When the Sioux migrated to the Great Plains area, they most certainly came across the the Badlands in their discovery. The name “Badlands” is derived from the Lakota phrase makȟóšiča, meaning Land of Bad Spirits.  Today, some Lakota believe that the Badlands are a place to be avoided because it is where bad spirits exist. This paper will discuss the geographic location,  geological formation, Lakota legends,  reasons the site is visited, time or seasons to visit and Lakota stargazing associated with the site. When applicable, Lakota words will be provided.

115-miles south of Moab is a land revered by generations of climbers, hikers, and adventurers. It’s a land known as the Bears Ears, a series of buttes that constitute jeep trails, sacred archeological sites, unique sandstone formations, and the cherished climbing walls of Indian Creek. Not only loved by outdoorsman, the Bears Ears is also an important area to the Navajo, Ute, and Pueblo Native American tribes. Excavations here have revealed rock art, pottery, and cliff dwellings, documenting over a millennium of human habitation. The Bears Ears are loved but unprotected, and they are at a pivotal crossroads.

There is a high wire car that takes visitors up to the top of the mountain or one can choice to hike up the mountain. The carving represents three key figures of the Confederacy riding their horses, which are Ulysses Grant, Robert E. Lee, and Jefferson Davis. The width of the carving is the width of a football field. Along with historical museums, the park has campgrounds and horseback riding, a train that goes around the mountain. There are also these vehicles that go on land and water. These car/boat vehicles are called Ducks. When you ride this attraction you are given a whistle that sounds like a duck quack annoying but fun at the same time. My favorite activity, however, is the laser show. The laser show takes place on the face of the mountain followed by a firework show. During the fall there is a fall festival with a pumpkin patch. My wife has the most adorable pictures of my kids in this pumpkin patch.

Chickasaw National Recreation Area in Sulphur Oklahoma is a place where many families go to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life. What many may not know is that the waters in this area were a treasured resource even before statehood. Native Americans were the first to speak of the wonderous health benefits of the water and after the arrival of the white man the preservation of this area would become an issue not only for the Native Americans who discovered it but also for the settlers who viewed it as an opportunity to become rich. Acquisition of this land would lead to the founding of Oklahoma’s first and last National Park. Originally named Platt National Park, the birth of this area has given way to years of enjoyment for its patrons, and it has carried in its waters a rich history of Native Americans, the federal government, and a rowdy group of enterprising settlers.

This is the history of a beautiful region that takes place back in 1850’s when the Sioux and Winnebago tribes lived in these lands. These tribes spread around the Midwest mostly for their food, which include buffaloes (wild Bison), deer, antelope, and wild turkey and hens, wild fruits cherries, berries, and plums and wild vegetables potatoes, spinach, and prairie turnips. These tribes lived in peace and harmony until Joseph Hewitt and James Dickirson arrived in the area in 1851. Joseph Hewitt and James Dickirson settlement soon became an amicable town. Hewitt traded goods with the indian tribes and Dickirson had rich soil for farming.

Hello Branden, the Shawnee Indians are always fun to read about because of their part in the French and Indian war and also in the Revolutionary war. The Shawnee Indians seemed like they were more self reliant than some of the other tribes I have read about. I live in Indiana and had always heard of the Shawnee Indians but never really did any type of research of their history until now. Your post was helpful in learning more about the Shawnee Indians and some of their history through the years. As far as I Know there aren't any monuments and ruins of the Shawnee Indians where I live in Indiana. I would love to go and see some of their ruins or whatever is left of their tribe in

When Cole Mathews was sent to the remote Alaskan island he viewed it as a game, but it isn’t. Upon arrival Cole started off by burning down his shelter by using the white gas for his lantern and a match, which doesn’t serve him well in the long run. He has also encountered the Spirit Bear many times in the first few days and he even created weapons to try to kill it. After trying to throw a homemade spear at the Spirit Bear from point blank a lopsided match occurs between Cole and the suddenly ferocious bear. The Spirit Bear beats Cole to the edge of death and leaves Cole desperate to survive on the ground. Cole fights to survive by scrounging up anything he can find to eat, he starts by eating worms from the wet soil and slowly progresses.

I like Bear country more than kayaking Alaska is because they have bears and kayaking alaska doesn’t and also I like Bear country better is because if you leave food out for the birds the Bear will come and find food and they will look house to house until they find food and if it’s for the birds then they will knock it down to the ground and start to eat them.
