Have you ever thought you might not just live in one place like where you were born? Who knows I wouldn't be growing up there. Will I thought I was going to stay there forever, but it was not like that. Sometimes my thoughts come around saying what if I stay in California. Would everything would be the same or different. Moving to another state would it be a good impact for me? One week before we hit the road . I couldn't believe we were actually moving , it was like my heart drop to my stomach…
When I first came to Arizona I never thought I would see such an engaged community involved with protecting a vital nutrient we human beings need, at least, half-gallon a day: WATER. It was the first time I heard about harvesting rainwater and compost toilets. My first impression was that if these people are willing to recycle their own poop they are really committed to the cause. And I then realized: this is THE place. I came to Tucson to study aquaponics, an integrated food production system…
Navajo land contained some of the world’s largest concentrations of uranium in a time period when the American government was scrambling to locate a steady source of this element. The uranium boom was fueled by the desperate desire to make atomic bombs faster than Americans communist foes. The Cold War pushed the American government into a frenzy to quickly develop the Manhattan Project and seek an area that could support it; this craze led the government to ignore various warnings from the…
People come from all walks of life; however, it is “places, names” (Bjelland, 2013, p. 144), and culture that really link who we are and, perhaps where we come from. This essay will examine the language, toponymy, and history of Phoenix, Arizona. Arizona is located in the southwestern United States. As we know from history it “became a part of the U.S. as the 48th state to be admitted into the Union on February 14, 1912” (Almanac, 2015). The state, itself historically was known for “copper,…

This shows that there is so much that one can do. You can do yoga if people are feeling like doing…
Arizona. The Grand Canyon State. It's the perfect place for spontaneous road trips to beautiful destinations. I can already see myself hiking up a mountain with my friends to capture the perfect sunset and star gaze long into the night. Spending the summer splashing each other at Havasu Falls will be just another day in paradise. In the winter, we'll drive up to Flagstaff, build some snowmen, and take numerous pictures during an impromptu photo shoot. Then, we'll venture up to the Grand Canyon…
The Yurok tribe lived in the northwest cone of what today is California. Some of its people lived in villages along 45 miles of the Lower Klamath River. The tribe was one of three tribes – Karok, Tolowa, and Yurok. Yurok territory also ran along the Pacific Coast from Little River in the north, to Trinidad Bay in the south, in addition on the tribe’s inland territory along the Klamath River. Today the land would be in the northern part of Humboldt County and continue north though much of what is…
Canyon. Today, scientists still do not agree on how the canyon was made. Another fact about the Grand Canyon is that the walls of the Grand Canyon contain prehistoric rocks. Some of the rocks are from two million years ago (“Let’s take a look at Arizona”). Something else many people would not expect is that surprisingly people have lived in the Grand Canyon for 5,000 years or more, some of these people were Indians. The Grand Canyon is frequently visited. Researchers estimate that around five…
