The protesting began against the further construction of the area in a more aggressive way by the Mohawk. A large barricade was built on the highway to block any construction being started.

Mom, Sister, and myself were all caught in some misery because fishing wasn’t really our thing. we are more into the non-disgusting things such as fashion, but dad wasn't into that so we had to do it his way and go to the lake to fish. When I got dressed, for this unfortunate fishing trip I picked out my most on wanting outfit. I labeled it the…
