Their hides were very valuable and they used them as commerce and traded them for goods that they needed, as well as using them for clothing, making hats, shoes, blankets, skirts, leggings, rugs, and containers to carry water in from streams. Deer bones, antlers, and hooves were utilized to make spears, arrows, and club points as well as fishhooks, needles, pins, weaving tools, knives, scrapers, and chisels; the Indians made use of every bit of the deer leaving nothing go to waste. When deer populations decline due to over hunting, people that use them as a food source, a source of warmth from their hides, and other miscellaneous objects that are made from them. Deer are a key component to having a healthy food web, when their populations decline other species are also affected. When deer populations get too high they start to affect the ecosystem and all the crops that are present in the area.…

With the collaboration of Richard Erodes, John Fire Lame Deer based this book on himself, the medicine man of the Sioux tribe. The focus on the medicine man provides a perspective of a lifelong journey to self-identification in the universe starting as a young adolescent seeking the vision necessary to be a medicine man. With clear indication of his purpose in life, John fire still indulges in living a life of white man's desires, yet was able to turn his back to the evils he was holding onto and set his path for the Sioux lifestyle, which dwelled upon respecting, loving, and respecting nature for what it is without destroying it. This new decision allowed for expansion in spiritual believes connecting to rituals, legends, and ceremonies. The…

Movies like Beetlejuice [Beetlejuice, http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0094721/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1] (1988) and the ever-popular Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban [Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, http://www.imdb.com/character/ch0030079/bio] (2004) have used shrunken heads as a form of comedic relief; however, the actual practice of creating a shrunken head is extremely dark. While numerous cultures participated in the practice of headhunting, the Ecuadorian Amazon and the Peruvian Amazon Jivaros Indian Tribe did more than just headhunt: They shrunk the heads that they collected. Obviously, questions abound: • Are shrunken heads real? • Why did they take the heads in the first place?…
Since the dawn of time, humans have practiced the right to hunt whitetail deer to control the deer’s population growth rate. However, animal rights groups and pacifists alike are trying to take that right away from the American people. Not only does hunting have an enormous impact on the American lifestyle, but also gives the common people (including myself) a chance to observe and help maintain the wildlife and its environment. Recently, those opposed to this idea have started to conduct experiments on new, alternative ways of controlling the deer population. These new, alternative methods have been proven to be inefficient and to only work in enclosed areas.…

A hero is someone who is willing to drop everything to go fight for something that can lead to a life or death situation. My two heroes are Theodore Little Parish and Deerslayer. My father was and has been a huge inspiration in not just my life but several others for today’s generation. Deerslayer is not much of a hero today but in 1800 he was inspiration for hundreds of lives. He held all of the qualities of a Indian but looks of a French man and still fought with the British.…
It was a brisk fall morning in November. I had woken up extra early just to make sure I could make it out to my stand before the sun would peek above the horizon. I’m not much of a morning person, so waking up can be a difficult challenge for me. Since it was just my first year of deer hunting, my dad had agreed to sit out in the stand with me just incase any trouble came about. I quickly brushed my teeth, got dressed in blaze orange from head to toe, grabbed some snacks, and began the journey out to the stand where I would be sitting for a while.…
My First Deer One brisk 30 degree day in January, when I was nine years old, was a day for which I was extremely excited. My dad got me out of school earlier that day, so we could go deer hunting. I had already shot a turkey the year before, so guns were nothing new to me. We made a quick stop at my house so that we could pick up the .243 youth edition, a really short barreled .243, that my dad had bought just about a month before so that we could go hunting, and I would actually be able to handle the gun. At this point we did not have the hunting land that we do today, so we went to my grandpa’s house and hunted in the clearing of trees behind his house.…
