“Cultural genocide”, that is exactly what happened when the white man colonized the Indian. To the outsider, Canada appears to be a ‘perfect’ country. From our free healthcare to our need to profusely apologize for bumping into inanimate objects, we are a nation envied by many. Our greatest strength lies in our diversity and multiculturalism. In our current Prime Minister’s words “diversity is at the very heart of Canada. It is who we are and what we do.” However, there is a part of our history…

Being curious the boys went to investigate the sound. They peered out of the trees to the side of the cemetery. What they saw were graves and grave markers looking as eerie as ever in the moonlight. What drew their attention to the new grave none of them ever knew but as they watched the boys saw…

What was it like to be depressed and all alone at the boundary waters? For Shiloh it would be one of the last days for her. Cork and William are in trouble while trying to find his disappearing daughter, Shiloh. They have trouble finding her but they find her in a hidden cabin all alone. Shiloh is either in trouble or she has committed suicide while she was at her cabin. I am predicting that Shiloh, William Raye’s daughter commit suicide while she was in the wilderness of the boundary waters. I…

a proper grave. The period from the fifth to the tenth century the sarcophagi fell out of use and became very limited to the wealthy and prominent Christians in Roman society. By the Middle Ages sarcophagi were rarely used and were beyond the reach of the majority of Christian members. Likewise, catacombs and underground burial places were out of date during the eighth and ninth centuries, despite the importance of the art history of early Christianity. By the 9th century, most graves were in…

battle of Gettysburg at a service to dedicate the opening of the national cemetery (The Editors of Encyclopædia Britannica). Lincoln’s Address was spoken to the citizens and soldiers of the union in the wake of the second invasion of the North by Robert E. Lee (The Battle of Gettysburg Facts & Summary). “The Gettysburg Address” was meant to reinvigorate the Union populace’s desire to bring the Confederacy back into the United States. “The Gettysburg address” also capitalizes on the emotions that…

Jars of Red Germanium In all the years since Maycomb was first established, many different changes have occurred, but the one place that remained the same, was the cemetery. The place had a gloomy and dilapidated feel to it, nobody had the money to fix it, and nobody had the will to do it. The bushes were overgrown and weeds spewed out from cracks in the pavement. On the day of Bob’s funeral, the sun was hidden from us behind the curtain of grey clouds. We were never tempted to venture near the…

order to form logical inferences and observations regarding age, sex, and status. Quick assumptions from individual artifacts would be impossible seeing that one object leads to another, which then correlates to my conclusions for every grave site. The most important grave site that allows all of my observations to be plausible is Burial 10. Because of Burial 10, I am able to determine the sex and status of each burial. Differentiating between age is a matter of skeleton size and its correlation…

Butler Cemetery Little is known of Butler Cemetery except its location on Country Drive in Bourg on the left descending bank of Bayou Terrebonne. It is believed to hold about 10 old graves in a heavily wooded area. Dugas Cemetery Dugas Cemetery, on the former grounds of St. John the Baptist Chapel in lower Montegut, was once property owned by the widow of Jean Baptiste Dugas, Reynalda Naquin, and her son Eusebee. They donated the property in 1859 to the Roman Catholic Church for the…

The settlements of Rio Perdido Valley undergo considerable change between Ceramic Phase 1 and Ceramic Phase 3. The increase in class stratification, settlement size, monumental architecture, and changes in burials reflect increasing social complexity in the region. This begins with what appear to be small villages, which become something similar to a state-level society by Ceramic Phase 2 or 3. Los Dos Plebes experiences growth and increasing social complexity between the Early and Late Ceramic…

I do not remember exactly the particular day but all I remember was that it was very humid and the sky was cloudy. It was just a few days before I joined first grade and I had just arrived home from my neighbors. I was utilizing my last few days of freedom and hence was tired and hungry. I had rushed home looking forward to my grandmother’s food and playing time. This had been my routine from kindergarten and it never bored me to say the least. I was however shocked as our house was full of…
