The River by Gary Paulsen is a Realistic Fiction novel. The River has 133 pages.

It divides the flow of water between the Pacific Ocean and Atlantic Ocean. So the Colorado River results from the divide that forces the snow of the Colorado Rockies to flow towards the Pacific Ocean. This geographical journey then continues into the boundary of Utah where it heads towards Arizona. This is where this water created, by way of pushing, biting, and carving its way into the Earth for millions of years, the massive canyon called the Grand Canyon. After this natural wonder, the river flows into the boundary of Nevada, then makes it journey into California. The end of the river passes through Baja California before making its finale of fluid flow in Sonora Mexico.

     Hazardous wastes are another problem for the water in our world. These wastes are toxic, reactive, corrosive or ignitable. Most problems come from humans not storing the substance properly or not disposing of it correctly. This can be easily proven in 1969, when the Cuyahoga River, in Cleveland, Ohio, caught on fire and burned for sometime. Since this happened environmentalists have taken extreme measures to reduce the amount of pollution that is coming out of the power plants that are on the river and on Lake Erie.

In order to have a thriving and healthy society a clean water supply is a very simple but necessary resource. Dating back to the beginning of civilizations the need for clean water was an essential need. The Clean Water Act dates to Franklin D Roosevelt’s administration. In 1972 Congress amended and passed what is now known as the Clean Water Act to protect our precious resource of water. The clean water Act prevented the dumping of pollutants into navigable waters without a permit. Many municipalities and commercial entities had previously dumped sewage and unregulated waste in to our rivers and streams contaminating a great percentage of our drinking water. This wreck less contamination of our waterways not only affected humans but also affected our wildlife including fish and animal’s life that depended on these waters. Any municipality or company that could affect our waters would need to apply for a permit to do so. While the Clean Water Act was a landmark legislation that was supported by both Democrats and Republicans alike over the years has seen expansion of the EPA’s interpretation of the law and has created a controversy in Administrative Law that has many challenges up to the Unites States Supreme Court.

The United States is currently attempting to build a pipeline underneath Lake Oahe that will damage Native American burial sites and will contaminate primary source of drinking water for the Sioux Tribe. First there will be a brief description of what happening with the protest at Standing Rock. Following these facts about this atrocity this paper will begin with a historical summary of the Sioux Tribe, the main set of protesters who are fighting to keep the pipeline from being constructed. Following this the paper will discus the culture and sacred sites that the pipeline would be affecting for the Sioux Tribe. Therefore no tribe should have to go through these abuse violation of their lands and such should be a better policy to protect

Seventy-five years ago today was the beginning of some terrible times along the Tug River. At that time, what is now Mingo County, was a part of Logan County, home of the Hatfields. Across the Tug is Pike County, home of the McCoys. The McCoy’s lived in Pike County, Kentucky area while the Hatfields lived in Logan County, West Virginia area. The two were separated by the Tug River. The majority of the family members on each side fought during the American Civil war. They all fought on the confederate side except for Asa Harmon McCoy. He was the one “traitor” of the family and fought or the Union. Devil Anse Hatfield was the head of the Hatfield’s while Randolph McCoy lead the McCoy family.

Since the beginning of time, water has played a key role in societies all over the world. The earliest recorded civilizations have all been found along large river valleys, such as, the Indus River in India and the Yellow River in China. Water is an essential part of life; it does not just sustain the life of all human beings around the globe, but also sustains the life of every living thing known to this Earth. All of the major cities that we know today are surrounded by large river systems that supply its people with the means to survive in that region. These rivers also link our different communities together and allow us to prosper, but these rivers are being taken advantage of. Our once great rivers are falling victim to pollution and

This investigation examines the historical question of “to what extent did the Black Hills Gold Rush of 1874 lead to the Great Sioux War of 1876?”. One key source chosen to support this investigation is a book from the United States Department of the Interior. This is relevant because it provides access to information compiled from the United States government’s extensive database of information regarding conflict in the Black Hills. The other significant source is a firsthand account from a Cheyenne woman that lived through and experienced the events leading up to the Great Sioux War of 1876, including the Black Hills Gold Rush.

By 1876, gold had been discovered in the Black Hills of South Dakota. The gold was found on Sioux land, and this region was considered sacred to the Lakota Sioux Indians. The he land was to be protected and respected by the United States Army, because of the Fort Laramie Treaty of 18681, but the Army could not keep miners off the Sioux ground, which led to the increase of Sioux grievances towards the Americans; some grievances that are still taken offense to today. These battles and negotiations soon were known at the Great Sioux War of 1876.

The Big Sioux River was ranked 13th for the dirtiest rivers in the US. This is a major concern. It may not be being brought the public's attention enough. There many factors for the Big Sioux pollution. A lot of work is going into the Big Sioux. The Big Sioux is polluted, clean up efforts are happening, and new technology is being built.

Let’s start out with the pollutants in this water. There was a surprising amount of pollution found downriver of Sioux Falls, the largest city in South Dakota. It makes sense that more pollutants would be coming from more heavily populated areas, but it doesn’t change the fact that it is harming all those around it. It is thought that a lot of this pollution is coming from the city waste

We're going to tell you about a tribe of Indians known as the Sioux Indians. The Sioux Indians lived on the great plains. The Sioux's tribe is partially and fully located in 7 states. The states are known as Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota, Montana, Iowa, Minnesota, and Wisconsin. Their natural resources include deer, beans, wild rice, and buffalo.

The tribe I chose was Sioux. Sioux sounded like such a fun tribe to learn more information about. Plus little side note every summer I went to camp I always stayed in the Sioux cabin. A little background info on the Sioux tribe. The Sioux tribe migrated from Asia. The word Sioux means little snake which the name came from the Chippewa Indians. (“Sioux Indians”) A way you could describe the Sioux tribe is that they had "AHDD" because they hardly ever stayed in one place, they always were on the move. From the movie we watched it mentioned that they follow the buffalo.
