Case Study Report: Anjikuni Lake

Improved Essays
PRELIMINARY REPORT

I got my topic the second time I picked from the bucket. My first topic I picked was Trovants from Contesti, Romania. I looked at a couple of sites, but it didn’t look interesting to me. It was living rocks that can move, grow, and reproduce, so I drew again. I drew the Anjikuni Lake in Canada. I looked through a couple of sites and decided that I would keep it because it looked interesting to me. I looked at more sites and each site helped me understand the disappearance of the people more and more. It is an unsolved mystery of the disappearing people of Anjikuni village. Joe Labelle, the person who discovered this mystery, had a few guesses, but his guesses didn’t make sense. He thought that they got up and left,

The author of World Mysteries wrote that the Joe Labelle stumbled across the village. When he got there he called out and looked for the eskimos. He looked in houses, the eskimos vanished without a trace. In the article, daily grail, it said that Labelle always visits the village and was excited to see the familiar faces and foods. When he got there he called to the village, but his calls went unanswered. He got curious and started to walk around the village calling to the eskimos. The author of listosaur wrote that the Royal Canadian Mounted Police looked at the mystery for a little bit. Despite a thorough search by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, no one was ever found, and the police dismissed the trapper’s report. The police wasn’t sure if what Labelle said was true. Is it possible that there were eskimos there or is this some story spun by a lonely …show more content…
I found out that I am a good researcher, but I would never be a researcher. I would use paper note cards instead of online ones because on paper I can have them right next to me. I managed my time pretty well in class. My websites were one factor that influenced my results. Some difficulties I came across was some of the good websites were blocked. I am not planning on revising any sections unless I have to. Yes because it helped me figure out how I would say something. I only got help from the websites I used. All of my sites were useful.

    High Artic Relocation

    Sivertz continues to downplay the devastating effects the Canadian government 's mismanagement had on the Inuit population that was relocated. When discussing how the Inuit people were forced to eat from the dumpster in order to survive, he instead focuses primarily on the issues of regulations surrounding the use of the dumpster, and how the constables in charge of the dumpster were very “gentle and effective”. He outright ignores the glaring issue that the Inuit, who were promised a better standard of living with plenty of food, were eating from a dumpster. Mr. Sivertz also disregards the complete lack of proper investigation and research conducted by the government prior to the relocation. First, Mr. Sivertz downplays how the government’s original “promise” to allow Inuit people to return was not properly conveyed to the Inuit people in Inukjuak by a translator who spoke broken Inuktitut.…

    Pikwakangan History

    This specific history of the Ottawa Valley people is inseparable from the history of the Algonquian peoples. This history is hard to separate because the Algonquins have always made theirs homes close to the Ottawa River. Algonquin people believe they have always lived in the Ottawa Valley, an understanding which is reflected in their traditional stories(http://www.thealgonquinway.ca/pdf/algonquin-history.pdf). The specific story I read was called Wiskedjak Pursues the Beaver; this story explained how creation came to the aboriginal peoples in this area. These Algonquins refer to themselves as the Pikwakanagan which means hilly place.…

    The reading claims that the elephant-sized edmontosaurs have been survived in the winter by migrating to the warm south territories. However, the lecturer finds all ideas dubious, and refute them all. First, the author argues that edmontosaurs must have migrated for at least part of the year to the hospitable warm areas in order to find food in that in the winter harsh cold of the arctic region prevents plants to grow; in fact, there might have been shortage of food.…

    Taseko Fish Lake Analysis

    • 697 Words
    • 3 Pages

    Taseko should not be granted approval to build a mine around Fish Lake for three main reasons. Firstly, Taseko is a mining group that wants to start their development around Fish Lake but environmentalists and indigenous group, Tsilhoqot’in, claim that Taseko will cause irreparable damage to the water supply. I argue that Fish Lake is a common resource which means that the land has to be protected to ensure consumers does not over use it. Second, Fish Lake is a sacred land for the indigenous group Tsilhoqot’in. Lastly, Taseko would be contributing to the inequality that Aboriginal people have to deal with when the government wants to build on their territory.…

    A profoundly altered planet is what our commerce minded government is creating, freaks storms like Hurricane Sandy and Hurricane El Niño tearing through our cities. By cutting corners on large scale dams that hold massive amounts of water, the government can have an impact on the fate of our planet. Everyday, poorly built construction projects like Hoover Dam and the Panama Canal wager millions of people’s lives, or most importantly, trillions of government assets. The Buckeye Lake Dam, located in Licking County, Ohio may seem like a peaceful place to enjoy on a weekend when it is surprisingly one of the most reckless building projects since the Leaning Tower of Pisa.…

    In the Mesa Verde region in the South Western corner of Colorado, existed a group of people known as the Anasazi, or Puebloans. Mesa Verde was occupied by farmers who lived in cliff dwellings. Due to its high elevation, it was believed that when the surrounding areas were experiencing bad conditions, people would move to Mesa Verde. The Anasazi existed in this region from about 600 AD to 1300 A.D. Between 700 and 850 AD, the population in this region doubled in size.…

    Learning Outcome 2

    Throughout this semester, we have written two major papers that really display my capabilities as a writer. By evaluating these two pieces with the learning outcomes established at the beginning of this semester, outcomes 1, 2, and 3 are most applicable when gauging my progress in this course. Learning outcome 1 is, "Demonstrate academic research and writing skills in essays and projects to participate in a scholarly conversation" Learning outcome 2 is, "Demonstrate critical reading through a knowledge of the forms and functions of a variety of texts" Learning Outcome 3 is, "Follow a research writing process that includes developing a topic, locating and evaluating sources (including peer-reviewed), composing in response to those sources, and revising and reflecting on that process;" Each of these outcomes I believe I have met by using them as goals when writing in and out of class. In my essay "Survivors and their Children: Examining the Holocaust's Multigenerational Effects" I discuss the impact the Holocaust has on those who survived it and on their children.…

    The Holocaust was an eventful time in history. A lot of things happened that people do not even realize. The holocaust not only affected Jewish people, it also targeted homosexual, women and children. A topic I found interesting about the holocaust was the idea of hidden children. It has rarely been talked about how they hid the identities of Jewish children by given them fake papers and hid them in different places during the holocaust so they could survive.…

    Week 10: Murdered and Missing Indigenous Women and Girls, Inuit Perspectives I found myself very relieved to finally discuss the murdered and missing Indigenous women and girls in Canada, a topic that receives devastatingly little attention in the mainstream media. When thinking about this journal article, I automatically knew that I wanted to contribute to Metis artist Jaime Black’s (2014) REDress project, which was started as a way to build attention to the realities of the missing and murdered women. The topic of missing and murdered Indigenous women is very important to me.…

    While taking a class in college, many people just go through the motions and show up to class to get the job done. But after taking my first English Composition class this fall I realized how much important material and knowledge I have gained. During the class we learned everything from little bits of grammar to writing six page papers. Learning how to start the drafting process on a paper and build an effective was by far the most important skill I have learned in class.
