Pg 1 “Ha. Where am I?”, I asked myself, “The fall from the plane crash must've knocked me out.” I pushed a bush aside and walked through it. I immediately stopped. “What is this place?”, I asked myself. I feel like someone is watching me. Smack, smack, smack. Like 20 little Indian guys pointed bows and arrows at me. “I mean no harm”, I said, “I wish to stay here until I get a chance to leave.” A little Indian guy with his face painted red said, “ I don’t know about that Mr. useless. You seem to be useless to us. If you prove you can help us you can stay.”

So I went out with a couple other little Indians. I saw it. It was a deer. I lined up my bow when suddenly the deer looked at me. I got startled and accidentally let go of the arrow in the wrong direction. Woof! OOPS! I just shot a little Indian guy.

Pg3 I ran and ran and ran. I did not know where I was going, but I could not think of that with the little Indian guys chasing me.

I waited a minute and then tried to figure out where the plane crashed. I realized It crashed back towards the Indian village. I started running towards the plane knowing that getting there is the only way I could survive.

Pg4 I saw it and started running faster than I ever had. I saw cans of food in the cockpit of the plane.”I guess I’ll have to stay here until a helicopter comes to look if there are any survivors like me”, I said to myself with relief, “I had found shelter.” I found the flare gun and got cushions from multiple broken seats. As the sun started to set I lay down for the night from my very tiring and terrifying

    There are many conflicting ideas surrounding pharmaceutical companies going into developing countries to collect samples of native plants. This opens the door for many companies, allowing them to create and patent new medicines from the samples and traditional knowledge. Under the patent law, these companies do not need to share revenues from drugs developed in part from the exploitation of traditional knowledge. Allergan operates on such terms. However, recently it has transferred its most valuable patent back to the Saint Regis Mohawk Tribe.…

I have always been interested most in Native American history and have had a good grasp on the timeline of their "arrival". I assumed that their arrival in Michigan would be a little bit later than their initial arrival in North America. I figured so because the journey over would take a little bit before moving on from exploring the northern west coast areas. Something that I found extremely surprising was the age that people get married in a Hunter-Gatherer lifestyle.…

Still sudden, desperate, and scary but slightly muffled this time.…
