Birch bark

Neither Gone nor Forgotten The teenage years are one of the most essential times in the development of a human being, filled with both freedom and restrictions. I am constantly faced with the balance of staying true to my family and our values while simultaneously developing my own identity and ideals. My parents have never been lax in their encouragement of my activities and personal growth, but they also have a reasonable expectation that I also respect their rules and decisions. While some…

Towering trunks of pine and birch grow with ease in the rich abundance of soil that is the forest floor. Each tree accepts the chaotic placement of silky pine needles and glistening pebbles that merge together on the ground. The bending of the grained bark is like a rainy Sunday, relaxed and peaceful. A carefree attitude is represented throughout the forest because all trees grow at their own…

bottom, similar to the reflection off a mirror (metaphor). On the opposite side of the pond was an enormous wooded area. It was filled with infant trees and elderly, diligent and fierce tree. There were large oak trees, with gigantic leaf's, birch tree with bark as smooth as a baby's bottom, and many others that made it seem like a forest of green on other side on the pond. When Fall came around, the trees would all change colors. The view from the drive way looked as though it was an…

The Bata Shoe Museum’s current exhibits include, “The Pleasures and Perils of 19th Century Fashion”, which provides important information on the trading systems and technologies used to create shoes and other fashion items.

It lays 5-6 eggs in a big tree, generally around 80 years or older, complete with thick bark. Egg development is dependent on temperature and takes around two to six weeks. Larvae have a distinctive horned tail segment. Moist wood is key to larvae survival, and therefore this species cannot be transported in dry, dead wood. Woodpeckers and…

He walks and finds some birch bark to help the sparks go to a big fire. The fire still dies after so many attempts to make it bigger. The fire is frustrating Brian. Brian think back to his science class and remembers that fire always needs oxygen to grown. He starts to give it some…

At the beginning of this paper and before we go into deep details, I will go into some of the headnotes that give the reader sort of good view of the Dakota tribe. Essentially, the word Dakota means ally in their language, which is the Dakota Sioux language. The Dakota people are a Native American tribe located in Minnesota, Wisconsin, and South Dakota and North Dakota. The Dakota people are First Nations band government in North America and the largest division of the Siouan family. The Dakota…

of ridges and meander across the moist, mossy fringes of muskegs. The rough, black and gnarled spruce branches that grew there were pirate spacecraft, pursued by the sleek birch branches from beyond the muskeg's soggy borders. As imaginary lasers and rockets exploded against the ships' hulls, I would rip off little pieces of bark and let them fall to the forest floor. The stricken ships would continue…

Beginning with transportation. The Potawatomi tribe used canoes to get from place to place. These canoes were light weight made from birch bark, which made them faster in water and much easier to carry around on land (Loew, 2001). The diet of a Potawatomi Native American consisted of corn, beans, and squash (Loew, 2001). Traditionally the Potawatomi relied on hunting, fishing, and gathering…

A great way to explore the rivers, lakes, canals and other waters is through the use of boats. Canoeing and Kayaking are two floating crafts that may take anyone to places in the waters that are even difficult to access by any other means. Canoes and kayaks maybe confusing to some but its easy really easy to distinguish one from the other. Kayaking and canoeing both require a paddle for propulsion and steering. The most noticeable difference is the structure of the boats. Kayaks have a…
