Red Cloud

“We do not want riches. We want peace and love,” said Oglala Sioux Chief Red Cloud. Many people, such as Chief Red Cloud, have stood up for their beliefs. In taking a stand, one represents a cause or opinion through their words and actions. Protesting, rebelling, and fighting are all examples of taking a stand. Chief Red Cloud of the Oglala Sioux took a stand in history when he refused to give up his tribe’s land, proving the strength of the Native Americans and creating opportunities for better American Indian rights in the future.

Although the war had ended long ago, it continued to be remembered and Red Cloud’s defiant nature lived on in…

Would you rather live where you grew up or would you move away?

George Rackham?" "Sure, I'm George Rackham, I'm your guy. I replied not worrying about a thing. I just wanted to get up in the air. She is beautiful I thought to myself. My plane was a Bristol F2.B. In short she was a fighter plane. I got in the cockpit and I was mesmerised by the aeroplane "Come on, let's get this kite up in the air."I told Wilson.

Mayer and Jason Mraz combined. He plays an acoustic electric guitar, but his guitar playing skills are nowhere near as good as his writing skills. He plays basic guitar chords, but his lyrics make the music. His style is very mellow and relaxed. It’s the kind of music you listen to while you’re cleaning or sitting around on a rainy day. After we arrived, we were afraid that our concert was going to be postponed on account of multiple tornado warnings around the area. These warnings did not stop…
