Spearfishing

For my third museum visit I went to the museum of fine arts in St. Petersburg on the 21st of April. This museum had everything from classical antiquity sculptures to contemporary abstract art. The piece that I am going to discuss in detail is titled Encroachment and was painted by Jay Hall Connaway. When first looking at this oil painting, aspects of the scenery stand out most. The painting depicts waves crashing into rocks along the coastline. In particular, there is one wave that is in the…

how they built most of their houses. They also made pottery and other tools to make and preserve food and water. They made their tools out of mostly stone, unlike the Inuits that made theirs out bone. With their tools they hunted deer and went spearfishing. They had many villages that had a chief, nobles and regular people. For transportation, they built canoes for water, and just walked for…

class, the teacher made him introduce himself. “Hello, my name is Kepuha and I am from the village of Talofofo in the island of Guam.” Some people giggled at his accent, but he continued anyways. “I like to play football and baseball, and I like to spearfishing at the beach.” He sat down sulking at the kids laughing at him. He sat through the lesson because he had missed the first half. As lunch time came, he looked around for a place to sit with some kids he could become friends with, but to…

Spearing,which is a very ancient way to catch fish, but still very effective. You will need a speargun, a small one with less power, if you’re starting in this activity. You will possibly need a license to practice this type of technique, but spearfishing is the most environmentally friendly form of fishing because it’s a no bycatch activity (the portion of a commercial fishing catch that consists of marine animals caught unintentionally, Merriam Webster Dictionary).Bycatch activity can be one…

BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! Off goes my alarm, I shoot out of bed and grab my suitcase and run up the stairs of my house so fast I thought I made a world record. The rest of my family is already up and ready to go. My 7th grade summer had just started, it was only a week in. My mom told us to go to the bathroom and then head to the car and store my things in the trunk of her Jeep Cherokee. Then we were off to the great falls airport. This trip to Great Falls took the longest, almost like the day before…

colonialism and to take away the land from the Native Americans could now be used to protect their hunting and fishing rights. An example of this is the video we watched, Lighting the 7th Fire, we were able to see Native Americans fight for their spearfishing rights in action and the horrific way they were treated by protestors around the Lac du Flambeau. The racism that came out while the protestors were protesting was very troubling to me. I think it is important for people to understand the…

water. Going back to the truck was a challenge because we were tired but we made it. Fishing was another activity that I decided to do. I would go fishing in the eastern part of the island. I would go spear fishing or boat fishing. When I went spearfishing, I caught a shark, but the shark was big that it broke my spear gun. I caught conch, lobster, and octopus as well. When I went boat fishing, it was fun. The only thing that I needed to make sure was that I only caught the limit that was…

It was late June when we got out of school. It was our last day and I couldn’t wait to sleep in and chill on the beaches in southern Florida. Me and my family had planned to head down to Miami, Florida by tomorrow night, and I couldn’t wait. I went to Florida when I was little, and I remember boogie boarding across the small ocean waves. Most of my family members were excited for the weather, hot, not cold like it was here in Michigan. But I was excited for the hot sand between my toes and blue…

In 2010 the federal lawsuit filed was finally settled. The Blackfeet Native American 's tribe was finally awarded the money that they were promised years ago, even though the Native Americans deserved more. Elouise Cobell, who is a member of the Blackfeet tribe and is the founder of the Blackfeet National Bank, filed a lawsuit in 1996 that would eventually force the United States Department of Interior to provide the Blackfeet tribe with the money that was due centuries ago. Ms. Cobell was tired…

“We go through the roughest times in our lives and the best times together.” The adventures are amazing being able to go around the worlds and seeing many things. “The memories you will have from firefights in the deserts of Afghanistan to spearfishing in Australia.” I have had a small experience with how life will be in the Marines. I have PT every Thursday, where I go and do workouts and do drills with other Marines and other recruits. We do several different types of workouts that help us…
