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
our prayer for each and every child that

school, Kidz Bible Adventure Hour or

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.”

Winnebago News
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.

Native community vows to hold Nebraska responsible

'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.”
#NativeLivesMatter
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.

Please RSVP to Donna Wolff, Native Connections Project Coordinator, email
donna.wolff@ihs.gov or call 1-402-878-3659 by Monday June 4th. Lunch
provided.

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.
