With the CPR, came a culture vastly different than that of the First Nations who had lived in the prairies almost exclusively before its construction. Among the cultural disparities, one of the most glaring was the European philosophy of land ownership which was in direct contradiction with the First Nations’ traditional way of life. The land they had previously lived and hunted on had been fenced off and sold to European immigrants. While the introduction of new values was certainly jarring for the First Nations peoples, the destruction of their natural resources was what had the most impact on their culture. Before the construction of the railway, the First Nations relied heavily on the plains buffalo as a resource.

The Lorax and the Once-ler fought until the very last Truffula Tree was chopped. The Once-lers family left and so did the Lorax. Just the Once-ler and his factory were left. But the Lorax left one thing, a small pile of rocks with a word carved into them, "UNLESS". So for years and years the Once-ler sat in his house on top of his factory and worried about what he had done. In his heart he felt terrible that he let his greed cause so much destruction. So one day he told his story to a boy that wandered to his house. He told the boy that the meaning of the pile of rocks that the Lorax left behind was clear to him now. Unless someone who cares a lot does something, nothing is going to get better. So he gave the boy the very last Truffula Tree seed and told him to plant it and protect it, and maybe some day there would be a forest of Truffula Trees again.

Stories are central to the Lakota way of life, specifically their story of how the world came to be. The Lakota Indians believe that the Great Spirit created everything. They say that there was once another world, but the Great Spirit was upset with those people because they had lost the sacredness of the land, so he destroyed it and made a new one. To bring water, he sang a song, but by the fourth song, the Earth was flooded. The flood killed all of the animals except the crow, Kangi, illustrating the necessity of balance in life. Kangi begged the Great Spirit for a place to rest, so the Great Spirit called forth four animals that could survive under the water, they were an otter, beaver, loon, and a turtle. The Great Spirit then asked them to go and retrieve some mud from under the water.

The Lorax is a story about a man who abused the environment and about what he learned. The story begins in the most run-down part of a dull, gray town. A small boy asks the Once-ler to share the secret of the Lorax and how he was taken away. Thus, the story is told as a “flashback” as the Once-ler talks about the Lorax and past events.

In the second section of the passage, in the first two thirds of page 31, the narrator shows that he is understanding of the situation that he and Luo are in, despite the aforementioned conditions mentioned earlier. One instance of this can be found in the use of the selection of detail where it says: “Luo would often help me work my cargo to the top and out of the tunnel”. The reason why this is important is because it shows that Luo and the narrator were able to work together to get through the situation, despite the noticeably awful conditions they were in at the time. Instead of panicking, they understood how to get through the situation effectively and carried it out. Another example in this passage is when it says, “In olden times the Phoenix of the sky was famed for its copper mines”. Despite his personal experiences in the mine, the narrator’s mind does not wander to self pity and fear, and he instead is able to assess his situation and the reason for his existence in

*Native Americans, explorers, fur trappers, and traders all made use of this river network. The rivers provided access for early settlers to the new frontier. As settlers cleared land and grew crops, rivers and lakes carried supplies, delivered crops to markets, and floated logs to sawmills. The downcutting of the river exposed a variety of resources along the banks, including clay, rocks, coal, and minerals.

Luo is the narrator 's childhood friend who travels to the countryside with him for re-education. Unlike the narrator, Luo is outgoing and theatrical, and is less pensive.

Without the livestock, Tribes could not harvest grain quick enough which made collecting and storing water a lot harder. With the grain going rapidly, and freshwater streams turning into icy roads, the Tribes' Chiefs decided to call a meeting at the Temple of Eternity. They cursed the Heavens, asking what they had done wrong to deserve all of the bad luck they were receiving. But instead of an answer, a small boy bursts through the Temple doors in blood stained, torn clothes. Shouting at the top of his voice, "Leraxahr!".

History has explained the fact that at one point in time, the earth's natural resources had no limit. Raw materials were plenty, because of the fact that there were plenty of natural resources to go around. Natural resources can be identified as the raw materials that comes from the earth and are useful. Natural resources can never be made by humans. Athough, these raw materials can be modified, or altered to benefit corporations and businesses. For example, natural resources are fossil fuels like petroleum, natural gas, and coal.

Strengths for our team include the fact that our group consists of upper level, business majors who have studied various aspects of business theory and knowledge. This knowledge will be used to the best of the group’s ability to develop and present a well-rounded final project. One notable weakness for our group is that we are having to communicate over a distance rather than work together in a single setting.

However, opportunity wise, our group consists of different minded members who can provide various and diverse insights for our group project. As a group our biggest threat is mostly time and communication. Because this class ranges over a few short weeks it is imperative that our group is mindful of deadlines as well as maintaining clear communication between all members.
