HoChunk Renaissance program

keeps language alive 'We don’t

have much time, but we’re trying

to do the best that we can.

By Kevin Abourezk

OMG! Schools out!

The season changes not only the plant

life in Winnebago, but the color of the four

legged.

WINNEBAGO, Nebraska – She grew

up among the pine trees and scrub oak

of western Wisconsin, not far from the

small town of Black River Falls.

Phyllis Armendariz lived the life of

a traditional Ho-Chunk girl, speaking

only her native language.

Often, Armendariz wouldn’t need to

try to speak English when she visited

town because many of the German

shop keepers there could speak HoChunk, a language that sounded much

like her own.

She didn’t even begin learning English until she was in first grade. And

it wasn’t easy for the shy Ho-Chunk

V i s i t

u s

a t

girl to learn the strange new language.

“I was self-conscious about it,” she

said. “I tried to make myself as little

as I could so the teacher wouldn’t call

on me. I think I was in the third grade

before I finally felt comfortable.”

Armed with the language of her people’s colonizers, the bright Ho-Chunk

girl went off in search of her education,

eventually earning a Bachelor of Science degree and an education degree.

Recently, the now 82-year-old Armendariz was asked to come to the

Winnebago Reservation in northeastern Nebraska to teach the Ho-Chunk

language to the Winnebago Tribe, who

shared the same ancestors as her tribe.

The Winnebago people were separated

from their Wisconsin relativesafter the

government forcibly moved them to

Nebraska.

Generations of federal assimilation initiatives – such as the efforts of

educators in boarding schools like the

Genoa Indian Industrial School in Nebraska who punished Native children

for speaking their Native languages –

had left the Winnebago people with few

fluent Ho-Chunk speakers.

Armendariz agreed, becoming a

language teacher for the Winnebago

Tribe’s language revitalization program, HoChunk Renaissance.

She has become part of an effort to

revitalize the Ho-Chunk language and

culture among the Winnebago people.

It’s an effort that faces many obstacles,

said Bleu St. Cyr, director of HoChunk

Renaissance.

Nearly a decade ago, the Winnebago

Tribe conducted an unofficial survey

to find out how many fluent HoChunk

speakers still lived on the tribe’s reservation. The tribe found just 15 fluent

speakers at that time, and several of

those speakers have since died, St.

Cyr said.

“We don’t have much time, but we’re

trying to do the best that we can,” the

31-year-old said.

The tribe began language revitalization efforts in the 1990s and founded

the HoChunk Renaissance program in

2003. The program began with just one

employ. Today, it employs 17 people,

including four fluent Ho-Chunk speakers, four language apprentices who are

learning from the fluent speakers and

support staff.

The program is funded primarily by

tribal allocations, primarily via revenue

from the tribe’s for-profit enterprises,

including the WinnaVegas Casino

Resort and Ho-Chunk Inc., the tribe’s

economic development corporation.

St. Cyr has served as director for

three years and served a media specialist for the program before that.

He said he hopes to combine technology into the program’s language

revitalization efforts.

Thoughts on a House or Halfway House…

By Lance Morgan

I thought I would give you guys a

little insight on how things have been

going lately. Last fall I met with some

of the department heads of the Tribe

and they asked that we help them plan,

find money and build a new Human

Services building. We met with an architect to design a building and got cost

estimates. We even picked out a site in

the Ho-Chunk Village. We figured we

needed to at least get one major grant

to make it happen.

The biggest grant is the Indian

Community Development Block Grant

(“ICDBG”). The new building was going

to cost $2.4 million to build. The ICDBG was for approximately $1 million.

We also lucked out and got some New

Market Tax credits of about $5 million,

which net another $1 million for the

new building and some other smaller

projects in town. The Human Services

building would have gotten about $1.5

million of its $2.4 million cost and

another $500,000 would have gone to

more solar energy and additional rental

housing. This would have been enough

to get the new building built.

The ICDBG is due to come out soon,

but I heard a rumor that tribal housing needed to apply for the grant to

renovate the rainbow housing project.

Over the last 15 years, the major entities in the tribe rotate applying for the

ICDBG and this year it was apparently

Housing’s turn. It is hard to argue

against renovating housing. So all our

work on the Human Services building was probably going to be wasted,

which is too bad because saying no to

$5 million in New Market Tax credits

hurts because they are so hard to get

in the first place.

We needed clarification from the Tribe

on the ICDBG grant and who was going

to apply for it. I wasn’t at the meeting

so some of this is what I learned from

people who attended the meeting. One

council person was totally into the idea

of building a new half way house for

$1.2 million. The tribe had previously

decided to apply for a $400,000 grant

and was $800,000 short and applying

for the ICDBG made sense to fund the

gap. I get the need for a new halfway

house, but I wanted to share some more

information.

The Tribe applied to renovate the

halfway house a few years ago and it

didn’t get enough points to be awarded

the grant. Also, Housing recently did

some testing for Meth and the majority

of the houses tested came back positive.

The people will likely be evicted soon

and their homes boarded up. It could

cost up to $50,0000 a home to remediate each one.

So let me put this all together for you.

We already have well over 200 people on

various housing waiting lists. There already are a ton of homes boarded up due

to damage and the cost and time associated with getting them renovated. We

are about to perhaps double the number

of homes being boarded up in our community-- making a whole lot of families

homeless due to the Meth issues.

In the meantime, we are set to graduate 150 young people in the next three

years all of who will need a place to live

soon. But we choose to apply for a low

probability Halfway house project for the

ICDBG. I believe the Halfway house will

provide 6 or 8 rooms for people transitioning back into our community.

I was disappointed to not to be able

to build the new Human Services building, but I understand the desperate

need for housing renovations. I do not

understand taking a big chance on the

Halfway house project at the expense of

housing renovations. I am not against

the Halfway house project, but I just find

it hard to believe it would take priority

over fixing up dozens of homes especially given the coming housing crisis.

Sadly, I predict that we are about to have

a lot more homeless families soon, but

what do I know.

JESUS OUR SAVIOR

LUTHERAN OUTREACH

"I AM the Life!"

We held our 20th preschool graduation at the Winnebago Veteran's Building on May 10th. Special thanks to the

Winnebago Veteran's Association &

American Legion Post #363 LaMere/

Greencrow/Rice and God bless you and

your families, as well as those currently

serving in our armed forces!

Yes, 20 years of offering preschool

classes to the Winnebago community

and beyond. Over these twenty years

we have shared the love of Jesus as

Lord and Savior with 174 students,

76 of whom have graduated. We have

taught them the 10 Commandments,

the Apostles' Creed, and what I refer to

as the Spiritual Warrior's Prayer (a.k.a.

the Lord's Prayer) both in English as

well sung in Ho-Chunk.

Thirty-seven students were welcomed

into God's family through the water of

Holy Baptism and had the name of Creator God - Father, Son and Holy Spirit

place on them. Their sins were washed

away as Mauna adopted them into His

ever extending family. Four students

have gone on to confirm their faith in

what Creator God did at their baptism

and as long as they remain faithful are

assured of life everlasting.

One part of our preschool graduation

service included the children acting out

the book entitled, 'Don’t Let the Pigeon

Drive the Bus! by Mo Willems. The

children taught their parents, grandparents, families and friends that they

could say 'NO' to the Pigeon. The back

cover of the book reads: 'Finally, a book

you can say ‘no’ to!'

All too often we parents, grandparents, teachers, etc. GIVE IN to the

child's requests, demands, pleading

and say 'YES.' Or we GIVE UP and say

'O.K.' Unfortunately this is not in the

best interests of the child as he or she

learns how to get one's way. This often

leads them to GIVING IN to temptation,

or GIVING UP on God or tragically even

on Life itself.

Listen to the greatest teacher of all

time and learn: [Jesus said:] “The thief

does not come except to steal, and to

kill, and to destroy. I have come that

they may have life, and that they may

have it more abundantly.”[St. John

10:10]

All too often the thief comes and robs

us of the life that Creator God would

have us live now and even more importantly in His new heavens and new

earth. The thief is none other than that

lying devil. He does not want God's will

to be done or His kingdom come to you

or your child.

Our theme verse for the 2017-2018

preschool year was: Jesus said to them,

"I AM the Way, and the Truth, and the

Life. No one comes to the Father except

through me." John chapter 14, verse

six. Jesus is the Life. Jesus gave up

his life as he suffered and died in the

place of each and every sinner. Jesus

forgives sinners and desires that we

have life more abundantly now. That is

SUICIDE IN INDIAN COUNTRY PART 18

In the cultural beliefs of Indian/Native nations, the spiritual philosophy

concerning one's purpose and existence on this earth is found in his/her

relationship to the world and everything in it. This relationship is the gift of

the Great Spirit. As children, we were taught that everything around you, the

earth and all the natural elements of life, is related. Symbols such as the circle

depict this philosophy, permeate every aspect of Indian/Native culture, and

are considered sacred. The circle is especially significant: Within it walk the

four winds and therein dwell the spirits of the four directions. These spirits are

the guardians who direct us on the pathway of life. The horizontal edge of the

circle is as far as one's eye can perceive and represents the rim of the world.

Beyond it is known only to our Creator. The present generation of Indian/

Native youth live within a duality of philosophies- those of non-Indian societies and Indian/Native societies. They are caught between two worlds - that of

modern, sophisticated technology and the center-of-life philosophy of Indian/

Native nations. This dilemma can create barriers and impede natural growth

and learning processes as children attempt to cope with their uniqueness.

Often the results are feelings and actions of helplessness and despair. Our

children are "calling from the rim "Let us heed this call, work together, and

find better ways to nurture them and those who follow. Therefore, we honor

both worlds. We honor life.

“As a younger man coming to the

program and growing up and seeing all

the technology, one of my goals was to

influence and bring together technology

and language,” he said.

The program recently launched a

language app and a language book with

words, phrases, translated songs and

new Ho-Chunk words.

St. Cyr said developing a curriculum

to teach the Winnebago people their language has been difficult as the HoChunk

Renaissance program has struggled to

find a university-educated language

teacher.

Most years, the program teaches students in grades kindergarten through

high school. However, this year, the

program decided to focus on students in

grades kindergarten-second grade and

high school in order to give its apprentices more time to learn the language

themselves.

“Otherwise, our apprentices were

teaching in the school system and we’re

not learning,” St. Cyr said.

Renaissance building in Winnebago,

The program plans to offer an eightweek adult language course starting at

the end of May and plans to publish three

children’s books. The program also has

considered creating a language immersion school.

“We have to make everything from

scratch,” St. Cyr said. “So that takes time

to develop that.”

The program currently has an agreement with the Ho-Chunk Nation in

Wisconsin to share language learning

materials, including a dictionary that the

Ho-Chunk Nation created.

The Ho-Chunk language is spoken

nearly identical by both tribes, though

each tribe has developed newer terms on

its own, St. Cyr said.

He said HoChunk Renaissance is

trying to ensure the survival of the Winnebago Tribe’s history and culture.

“Identity is very important because

one day you’re going to be asked, ‘What

do you know about your culture? What

do you know about your history, your

language?’” he said. “The grandchildren,

the children are going to ask you one day,

‘Who am I?’”

A major obstacle to the HoChunk Renaissance program’s efforts is the short

amount of time it is allowed to teach

children in the schools in Winnebago,

including Winnebago Public School and

St. Augustine Indian Mission.

The program’s teachers are given just

30 minutes a week to teach individual

kindergarten through second-grade

classes at St. Augustine and just 50

minutes each week to teach individual

classes at Winnebago Public School.

Mary Merrick, one of the program’s

language teachers, said the program was

once given 30 minutes each day to teach

individual second- through fourth-grade

classes as recently as recently as three

years ago.

“We need more time,” she said. “We

definitely need more time with them.”

Next WIN News Deadline: May 28

The HoChunk Vocab Builder is available on iTunes and Google Play

Despite the time constraints, Merrick

said it is rewarding to be able to teach

her tribe’s children their native language.

She described a particularly fulfilling

experience she once had teaching a little

boy who struggled with the language all

year. Finally, on the last day of school, as

students took turns reading a sentence

written in Ho-Chunk on the chalk board

and explaining its meaning, the little boy

succeeded in reading and explaining the

sentence without any help.

“I was so happy,” Merrick said. “I

enjoy teaching them because when they

finally get it, it’s really rewarding for

them to finally grasp it.”

HOUSING UPDATES:

The Winnebago Housing and Development Commission (WHDC) Board of

Directors are Jeanie Eagle, Chairperson, Isaac Smith, Vice-Chairman, Coly

Brown, Leilla Logan, Louis La Rose and Sarah Snake.

The Board has authorized staff to perform a “meth swipe test” in every room

of a rental unit, during the annual physical and housekeeping inspection.

Be advised that the meth tests are sent to a laboratory for analysis.

Any test result that is positive for meth, and over the level of 1.50 is going to

result in a Notice of Termination of the Lease.

The WHDC is hopeful that this a significant step towards removing the

use of this dangerous drug in the Winnebago Community.

This illegal chemical is dangerous to the individuals using it. Meth is

dangerous and harmful to the users’ family members, especially children and the

elderly, and can cause death much sooner than many other illegal substances.

The WHDC is responsible for the damages to the physical house; “cleanup” of meth is costly. The unit must remain vacant until the clean-up is done;

more houses will be boarded up. Projections on the cost of clean-up for a 2

bedroom unit can be at least $20,000.

The choice to use any drug is made by the user. Studies state that this

is one of the most difficult addiction to overcome.

Those that have not used meth, be aware and “don’t go there”.

Native Students’ College Vision Quest

Native Students’ College Vision

Quest (NSCVQ) provides Winnebago

Public School (WPS) students in grades

5th through 8th with an introduction to college and career readiness

via classes in culture, careers, and

academics.

During the 2017-2018 academic

year, NSCVQ offered introductory to

financial literacy classes utilizing an

online program called, EverFi. Later,

in conjunction with the Omaha Nation

Community Response Team (ONCRT)

we began Oweesta Financial Literacy

courses. Students received education

in budgeting, advertising, economics,

and consumerism. Their incentive for

participation and good behavior included a $50.00 gift card to Walmart.

Throughout the year, NSCVQ activities included moccasin making, beading, and ribbon work skirts. Classes

were supervised by Sasha Rivers,

NSCVQ Education Specialist, while

Tamela “Tammy” Haskell instructed

with the aid of elder, Natalie Earth.

Field trips included the Henry Payer, Jr. art exhibit at the Great Plains

Art Museum in Lincoln, Nebraska.

For some students, this was their first

professional art gallery experience.

Afterwards students were treated to

Pizza Hut and given rides home.

In April and May, NSCVQ partnered

with the Little Priest Tribal College

(LPTC) for an event; LPTC Campus

Scouts. Students visited the LPTC

campus, participated in a campus

tour, ice breaker, activities, and earned

the chance to win incentives. Incentives rewarded students on good behavior, listening skills, participation,

and leadership. Students who won

received gift cards to the Dollar General, Wal-Mart, or the Heritage Store

and a certificate.

For our last day of the school year,

all 5th through 8th grade students

were treated to a pizza party at the

WPS lunch room. Pizza was catered

by 1000 Degrees Pizza. Students will

receive their $50.00 Wal-Mart gift

cards for their ONCRT Oweesta participation at the 2018 Honoring the

Youth Achievements Pow-wow held

Thursday, May 24th at the Winnebago

Public School gym .

As this school year comes to a close,

NSCVQ will continue with events and

activities into the summer and next

school year. Make sure your 5th – 8th

grader gets involved by contacting

Sasha Rivers, NSCVQ Education

Specialist, at 402-878-2631 or email

her at sasha.rivers@winnebagotribe.

com. Her office is located at the Higher

Education Offices in Winnebago, Nebraska.

'We do not go away': Native community protests racism and aggression

Posted: Monday, May 14, 2018

'You

know

why?

Because we do not go away'

By Kevin Abourezk

Native people are continuing to call

for justice following a series of incidents

they say demonstrate racism and aggression on the part of Nebraska law

enforcement and state officials.

Nearly 65 Native people and supporters gathered on the steps of the

Nebraska State Capitol in Lincoln on

Saturday seeking accountability for

actions against Native people.

Leo Yankton, a 42-year-old Oglala

Sioux man, said police aggression has

cost at least one life in the past year and

left several Native people in Nebraska

wounded with broken limbs and gunshot wounds.

“At times, it has felt like open season

on Native people, as we have become

the targets of overzealous police officers who see us as expendable and

powerless and state officials and federal

agents who see our hard-won revenue

sources as treasures to be plundered,”

he said.

Yankton – a co-host for Indianz.Com’s

Indian Times podcast – organized Saturday’s rally after his cousin, Lavan

Yankton Jr., was run over by a police

SUV on April 27 after running from

police.

Lavan Yankton was wanted on three

warrants – including two for domestic

assault and one for failure to appear in

court – and was found by police that

morning.

Leo Yankton said he sued the Lincoln Police Department after an August

2017 incident in which two officers

entered his home looking for Lavan

Yankton but found instead his 14-yearold cousin, who they marched outside

wearing only her underwear.

He said the two officers became irate

when he questioned them about why

they were detaining his cousin, and

they handcuffed him and cited him for

interfering with a police investigation,

a charge that was later dropped.

“And so it was that nearly eight

months after that incident the Lincoln

Police Department finally caught up to

my cousin Lavan in an alley in south

Lincoln,” Leo Yankton said. “Just as

Lavan had feared, his arrest didn’t

come without great pain.”

Abourezk: Calling for Justice in Nebraska

Leo Yankton also shared the story of

Zachary Bear Heels, a 29-year -old

Rosebud Sioux man who died after

Omaha police officer Scotty Payne

shocked him a dozen times and officer

Ryan McClarty punched him 13 times.

Bear Heels, who was unarmed but

suffered from bipolar disorder and

schizophrenia, had been acting erratically on June 5, 2017, when police

were called.

Payne and McClarty now face assault charges.

“A man – known to be mentally ill – is

beaten and Tased by officers until he

dies,” Leo Yankton said. “Two other officers stand by and watch, and the worst

charge any of them face is assault?”

He also shared the story of a 44-yearold Rosebud Sioux woman, Destiny

Whitemagpie, who had her arm broken

after police came to her apartment

investigating a domestic disturbance

involving her and her boyfriend.

The officers arrested Destiny’s boyfriend and attempted to arrest Destiny,

who asked them why she was being

detained. One of the officers began

pushing Destiny’s arm up behind her

back with such force that it broke her

elbow, he said.

“And so it was that this Lakota

mother on her way to work one morning

had her arm broken by the very officer

who had come to her apartment to ensure her safety,” Leo Yankton said. “All

because she asked him why she was

being arrested. It seems Lincoln police

don’t like being questioned. Believe

me, I know.”

Michelle Free LaMere, a citizen of the

Winnebago Tribe, said she witnessed

the January 30 raid by federal agents

on the offices of Ho-Chunk Inc., her

tribe’s economic development corporation.

She said she watched agents of the

Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms

and Explosives load dozens of boxes of

documents and products related to the

corporation’s tobacco distribution enterprise into U-Hauls and semitrailers.

The Winnebago Tribe has said it believes the state of Nebraska requested

that the ATF conduct the raid in order

to provide the state advantage in a tax

dispute between the state and the tribe

related to tobacco sales.

“Because of their actions there, they

scared away a lot of the distributors so

the sales went down,” Free LaMere said.

“People lost their jobs.”

She called on Native people to seek

political office and vote.

“We need to get on the schools

boards,” she said. “We need to get on

the county commission boards. We

need to start running for office outside

the reservation.”

Karin Eagle, a media relations specialist for the Oglala Sioux Tribe, said she

has long feared allowing her son to

walk the streets of Rapid City, South

Dakota, a city that she said has become

notorious for the aggressive behavior of

its police toward Native people.

“I told my son how to walk down the

streets, who to walk down the street

with, how many people are allowable

to walk down the street with,” she said.

“I was told it’s not that bad. I said, ‘I

buried two relatives within five years

because the police weren’t that bad.’”

She said she traveled with her children to Lincoln from the Pine Ridge

Indian Reservation in order to show

solidarity for those being oppressed

and harassed by Nebraska authorities.

“Back home on your reservations,

you better believe people are listening,”

she said. “They’re paying attention now

to what’s happening in Nebraska.”

Frank LaMere, a Winnebago activist,

said he has worked in recent months

to ensure Nebraska leaders don’t forget

what their police and political leaders

have done to Native people.

“Nothing changes unless somebody

is made to feel uncomfortable,” he said.

“Nothing changes until we make ourselves uncomfortable.”

And he criticized Nebraska for allowing itself to be used by major tobacco

corporations to intimidate the Winnebago Tribe into giving the state a

portion of its tobacco and distribution

revenue. He said the raid on the tribe’s

economic development corporation in

January was the result of the state and

big tobacco companies seeking to force

the tribe to participate in an agreement

between 46 states and the five largest

tobacco companies.

“We took them on at Whiteclay for

20 years. We did not go away,” he said.

“We took on big alcohol and we kicked

their ass.”

“Now Nebraska gets together, jumps

in bed with big tobacco, and we’ll kick

their ass, too, if we have to. You know

why? Because we do not go away.”

Native Americans are more likely to

be killed by law enforcement than any

other racial or ethnic group, according

to the Center on Juvenile and Criminal

Justice.

Want to save a million $

In writing this article I’m mindful of the fact I’m 1/9 of this Council and

that which I am writing. In other words what said of one is said of all, and the

membership can put us in our respective categories.

It seems like recent council meetings (last 7 months or so) have been

nothing but opportunities for the audience to bash the Tribal Council. Comments like, “we’re your boss, we put you in there, you do what we say, I wouldn’t

have voted for you if I knew this is what I was getting, you should be on the job

earning your wages, how can you serve the people when your not on the job.”

No transparency, no meetings, a 5-signature council, and the list goes on, with

no let up in sight.

I’m convinced there is a solution to all of this. Knowing that it could

affect me the next time I come up for election, but it’s okay, if I believe in the

solution, I should be willing to accept the results.

This solution is not new in that it came up when Brian Chamberlain was

the Tribe’s Treasurer and again by Lance Morgan in a recent WIN news article.

Here’s how they presented it then, and how I present it now.

Reduce the Tribal Council members from 9 to 7. We are a small tribe and don’t

have enough work for nine members, sitting in an office for 8 hours (if that) with

nothing to do can make for a long day.

The four officers should be salaried and elected to those positions by the people,

the Chairman, Vice-Chairman, Secretary and Treasurer. The three others should

receive a stipend for meetings attended or other assignments.

There are additional details that would have to be worked out to insure maximum efficiency for a different reorganized governing body.

If we were to make this happen, you’re talking about a million dollar savings

to this tribe. Imagine what that money could be used for. It’s not a long drawn

out process, a vote of membership to amend the Constitution to read from nine

council members to seven members, with officers receiving a salary and members

receiving stipends is all it would take. Could happen as soon as the people want

to start saving money for other purposes.

Trauma Informed Psychological First Aid

(PFA)

Thurs. June 7th 8-4pm

Little Priest Tribal College Elk Clan Auditorium

What is PFA?

Psychological First Aid (PFA) is an evidence-informed modular approach

for assisting

children, adolescents, adults, and families in the immediate aftermath of

disaster and

terrorism. PFA is designed to reduce the initial distress caused by traumatic events, and

to foster short- and long-term adaptive functioning. Principles and techniques of PFA

meet four basic standards: (1) consistent with research evidence on risk

and resilience

following trauma; (2) applicable and practical in field settings; (3) appropriate to

developmental level across the lifespan; and (4) culturally informed.

Who is PFA For?

PFA intervention strategies are intended for use with children, adolescents,

parents/caretakers, families, and adults.

Who Delivers PFA?

PFA is designed for delivery by mental health specialists who provide acute

assistance to affected children and families as part of an organized disaster

response effort. These

specialists may be imbedded in a variety of response units, including first

responder

teams, incident command systems, primary and emergency health care

providers, school crisis response teams, faith-based organizations, Community Emergency ResponseTeams (CERT), Medical Reserve Corps, the Citizens

Corps, and disaster relief organizations.

SPRING!

Is here should we cheer?

Should we cry like a butterfly?

I love spring, don't you?

You can play in the sunny sun,

isn't it just so fun, fun, fun.

Flowers grow, trees grow, winter falls, winds blow.

Bees buzz, kids play, say HOORAY!!

SPRING IS HERE TODAY!

Lavayis Tyndall- 3rd grade-Mrs Aman's Class

I believe we should help the earth because we live on it. To help the world we

can pick up garbage. Don't Litter. You can recycle cans, pop bottles, and many

more. You also get something out of it. You can use a cross walk. That is some

stuff you can do to help the Earth.

Persayus Lyons-4th Grade-Mrs Falkner's Class

I recycle and I pick up my trash to be less than alot of trash. I would be kind

and be respectful to one another. I respect my Earth or I would not be here. I

want to be smart with the Earth and be more careful with Earth. Earth is MY

home and I respect my home. It is where you make choices in life. I love earth

because it is beautiful and it is where Native people lived on the land and near

lakes. This is why I love the Earth it is natural.

Junius Snowball-5th Grade- Mrs Lecher's Class

See a lot of animals are going extinct and a few of them are because of not

recycling. Reusing can make it way easier to make stuff because we could use

stuff from past projects. Littering is bad because if some of that trash gets into

the ocean than a few sea animals will die. Recycle so we don't have to get new

material because a lot of things are going to waste. Stop littering because it can

harm animals and sea animals too. Reuse stuff because if you need wood getting

it might lead to deforestation for little critters. So recycling stuff and reusing

stuff is good because if you have a old trailer or something broken down you can

make some thing new with it.
