The Land is Ours

and topic. The Interior Department manages almost 500 million acres of public land, about one-fifth of the surface land area of the United States. The original organizing of public lands was based mainly on having land for ranchers to graze their livestock and to preserve the natural resources of the United States. What came from necessity has developed into a $646-billion-a-year industry. Our national public lands are host to not only Ranchers and a rare outdoor enthusiast. Now they are used

property. Therefore if we own our own person and everything that we entail to be, we also would own our own labor and work of our hands. What makes property our own is when we work with the state of nature and everything that has been provided from God through the state of nature. We do not earn the right to ownership simply because we do more work than someone else, but because through our work we have mixed the state of nature with ourselves making it part of our property. However as there are

their land was taken. Some people believe that Native Americans should stop complaining, and live like everyone else. That everyone just needs to be treated equally, that we shouldn’t have reserved land for ourselves, or be able to govern ourselves. But Ii believe we should be able to have the rights we do, and the land we do, and we should also be able to claim our land back. I don’t think it’s fair that we had to be placed on reservations, put in boarding schools, and have our sacred lands and waters

We, the French, do so believe that we deserve the land in the Ohio River Valley for numerous reasons. For one, we found the land before the British and are better tenants as we are paying the natives to rent their land. Secondly, we could use the resources for our incredibly fruitful fur trade. Thirdly, we have better military strategies. We deserve the Ohio River Valley because we came before the British and we rented the land from the natives. During the debate, the British claimed that they arrived

Cheyenne, more specifically the Northern Cheyenne people lived happily in Montana until the white man said that we must leave our land and go live on a reservation. Every member of the tribe disagreed with the white man trying to move us off of our land; we did not want to go to what the white man called Oklahoma. I overheard conversations of the older men calling it the” warm land”, and the “place to die”. I remember my father and my father’s father being really sad because we had to leave my father’s

Humans need to change their way of living. We are destroying our Earth at such a fast rate and we do not get another chance once it is gone. Everyone believes that someone else is going to save them, when in reality the only person you can count on is yourself. Most people do not realize the urgency of this problem. To this day, some people do not believe that global warming is happening even though the glaciers are melting, average temperatures are rising, etc. Naomi Klein says in her book, This

gap has a significant meaning to our nation. The cumberland gap was a mysterious gap found in the middle of nowhere in the United States by explorers who were in desperate search for land, discovering this gap opened up the opportunity for a new life starting with the most important thing, land. ”Stand at Cumberland Gap and watch the procession of civilization, marching single file, the buffalo

and trust the French because we trade with them often, therefore interacting with them frequently. Also, the French trade fairly and also have many Native American allies because of this. Additionally, we have had many arguments with the English over land, but the French have respected us. We trust the French and should take their side during the war. We trade with the French often. The French are very eager to trade with us for furs and during the trading, we have come to know them

They aren’t here to help us, all they want is to turn us into slaves and take what we have. Not too long ago, the British tried to claim our land as their own, and with the French coming in suddenly while we’re rebelling against the British, they were our final blow. A lot has happened since their arrival. They claim that they want to ‘civilize’ us, but if anything, they are doing the opposite. We have no power when it comes to what happens to us and people I know have lost their families. We want

Dakota to Illinois. The proposed pipeline will run directly through the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe's land, threatening the water source as well as desecrating sacred lands. Mainstream media has downplayed the concerns of the Sioux Tribe, calling them merely "anti-energy protesters"- however, the issues at hand are far greater. The DAPL project was approved by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (that's our military, people) using the Nationwide 12 permit process. The Nationwide 12 permit process is
