The experience of growing up in a small rural town in Minnesota which borders the Prairie Island Indian Community is the first experience which gives me a unique identity.

The rural aspect of a small town meant farming and factory work provided employment for many citizens. Therefore, the concept of a strong work ethic was continually modeled.

The rules are simple: if he makes the three days alive, he wins, otherwise, General Zarroff, the privileged owner of the island, wins his own game. Rainsford fights harder than ever before to beat the odds and come out of Ship-Trap island unscathed and get his justified revenge. To continue, High Noon is the iconic movie about a humble sherif with a dedication to his town. He, in a sense, is being hunted as well by a
The city of Denver and the western pioneers that founded it are analogous with one another. In the mid 1800s, the eastern United States lacked the employment opportunities and lifestyle that many people desired. In result of this unfortunate economic downturn, people known as the pioneers travelled west in search of new opportunities.

The US in the 1830s debated the relationship between the US and Indian communities of North America. The principles calling for equal rights and political democracy of the people in America were in contradiction with the principles the US was initially against. American colonists began to view the vast expanse of lands controlled by Indians as desirable and could now use Indians in a new way: to acquire land for development . As the rapidly growing United States began to move towards the South in the early nineteenth century, white settlers were confronted by the Cherokee, Creek, Choctaw, Chickasaw and Seminole nations, which became an obstacle in the way of their plight to acquire land to grow cotton and crops.

Located at the intersection of Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona, and Utah lies the Four Corners. Their borders form a 90-degree angle. This vernacular region contains deep influences from the culture surrounding it. Their boundaries are not physical, but more so imaginary lines that are perpendicularly intersected.

Whether it was riding my bike to do chores with my dad at the nearest hog confinement building, or handing out blue ribbons as little miss pigtails during the fair, being a part of raising hogs has always been an enjoyable learning experience.

Since then I have patiently waited for my chance to become an Iowa Pork Producer Association representative.
