Kimmerer outlines a way of living in congruence with Mother Earth, backed by both lenses but exemplified by the resilience and spiritual connection with nature by indigenous communities. By communicating her own experience as both a trained botanist and ecologist, as well as a Potawatomi woman affected by cultural colonialism,

If I had lived during the Holocaust, the hardships would include lack of shelter, starvation, and survival. To start, people struggled to find a safe shelter. The book Milkweed is about a boy who has to change the locations of his shelter to be able to survive. I know that during this time period a lot of people who were jewish were taken to concentration camps were they were forced to work and were treated harshly. Because of this people had to change the location of their shelter to escape getting caught. Additionally, people also had to face the struggles of starvation. Since hitler and his nazis were killing off a lot of people, the people who owned food stores could no longer sell food. This meant that people couldn’t get the same amount
This is showing that Loyal is realizing that the Japanese people rights are being stripped from them, and he is beginning to regret supporting the decision to put them into camps. Furthermore the text states,” Dad told our boys to walk from the camp in a group. They weren’t to be alone, because somebody could treat them like prey”,(p.237). Indeed this is showing that Loyal cares and is looking after the Japanese, not just because they are his workers, but because are humans who don’t deserve the punishment that is being handed to them. In Tallgrass Loyal changes from biased to open-minded.

Drew Hayden Taylor’s Motorcycles and Sweetgrass is praised as the funniest piece of Native Literature in Canada, a stark comparison to many of the other pieces of Native literature which are often dark and filled with sadness. However, Taylor’s Motorcycles and Sweetgrass cannot be considered dark or filled with sadness as it follows the arrival of the Native trickster Nanabush to the Reserve of Otter Lake bringing with him a fresh new take on Native life in Canada through a light, almost comedic lens. It isn’t all jokes and humour, though. As the novel follows John/Nanabush and his mission to bring back Native culture in the sleepy reserve of Otter Lake. This can be seen by the change in Virgil and his new excitement in school. The passion
“There are no clinical data to support the use of chasteberry for reducing sexual desire, which has been a traditional application.” Even though Chasteberry has been used in the past for treatment of the body til this day, it does not have enough evidence to prove its effectiveness.
Acroptilon repens (Russian Knapweed) is a noxious weed in quite a few states, including Utah and Idaho. This weed causes many different problems for farmers and ranchers because it is a pasture/range weed. There have been studies done to find the best sources of control. Many of these studies have spanned for a long time. Management practices vary by region and there is a lot of discussion about which management practice is the best for this fast spreading weed. Because there have been many research projects about this particular weed they have been able to successfully come up with multiple chemical treatments that work to control it. There are still other control methods that should be considered because of the fact that chemicals are not always the best option for everyone. This paper will look into Russian Knapweed, its characteristics, and the different methods of control that have been tried in past years.
As the wind screams in anger and the bodies lay motionless on the cold hard ground, grass does it job. In the poem “Grass” by Carl Sandburg we see the disillusionment and the ignorance of people towards the isolation of death and grass. It is traditional for the grass to cover the dead bodies. It is what you do at a funeral.
Although agmatine was discovered in the early 1900's, it is still not a well known substance yet. The reason for this is that most of the studies pertaining to it have only been done on animals. But very little of the research has been tried out on a group of humans. Still, the animals in the experiments had a similar DNA sequence as humans, so a lot of the information can be used as far as what effect that it has on the body. It has become crucial that people learn the facts regarding what agmatine can do because supplements containing the substance have already been put out on the market despite the lack of research that is available. So this article will discuss some of the most important aspects of this product for those who are interested in trying it.

The control and eradication of invasive species in Washington State is an important part of maintaining the diversity and wellbeing of our ecosystems. One invasive species common to us, Heracleum mantegazzianum, otherwise known as giant hogweed, is a Class A weed and must be eliminated where encountered (Noxious Weed Control Board). H. mantegazzianum is recognizable by its immense height of up to 20 feet, and its thick stalks support umbels of small, clustered white flowers. It can be distinguished from plants of similar appearance by purple blotches located on the stems (Noxious Weed Control Board). They are commonly found near riverbanks and roadsides.

Cheatgrass is the common name for the species Bromus tectorum L. and belongs to the grass family Poaceae (USDA 2015). This invasive plant was originally reported in eastern North America but now it is dominant in the Intermountain West (Huttanus 2009). The genetics of 192 North American populations of Bromus tectorum is studied so far (Huttanus 2009). Cheatgrass grows mostly in coarse texted soils whereas it cannot develop in saline or compacted soil (USDA 2014). In addition, it can invade rapidly in troubled areas such as burned areas, overgrazed rangelands, and cultivated fields. The spreading of the plant to shorter distance occurred as a result of transportation of hairy seeds by wind, birds, water, and to greater distance by vehicles carrying seeds in its undercarriage (USDA 2014).
