I knew from previous research in other sources that I have found that the majority of the Indigenous people lived in the east coast and that hardly none lived in Wisconsin. Wisconsin is nearly the only place in the USA where Bison is found, other than a few found in the south west, also where not many Natives were from. This could show that because there are no longer many Bison in this part of the U.S, this could mean that they killed the majority of the population of Bison or caused them to find a new home in a different part of the US. This definitely relates to climate and change. ]]> 2021-11-23 19:34:54 UTC https://padlet.com/charliefield26/9jca1layepvfsnzs/wish/1909171182 charliefield26 https://padlet.com/charliefield26/9jca1layepvfsnzs/wish/1909184444 This text and image connect to climate change as this shows that their houses and living areas were largely made of wood and different other fabrics.This therefore means that the Native Americans cut down trees to create this. This relates to now because of all of the discussion around deforestation and why it is bad! Another thing that I noticed was that in the photo, it looked like there was some sheep's wool and that also makes me think that they would have needed a way of cutting the wool off the sheep (Pritzker). Seeing as shears would not have been invented yet, it would mean that they would not be able to get it off as well and might harm the sheep, maybe even killing them, lowering the animal population of sheep! ]]> 2021-11-23 19:44:02 UTC https://padlet.com/charliefield26/9jca1layepvfsnzs/wish/1909184444 charliefield26 https://padlet.com/charliefield26/9jca1layepvfsnzs/wish/1909195588 This relates to climate change because in order to farm there needs to be land, some of the farmland would have been put in areas where trees used to be. This means that they would have had to ‘deforest’ the area. However, some of the effects may be bad, but farming also is a way of not harming animals in order to eat and it is also a way to feed the animals around with the bad crops (McCutchen). Most of the effects of farming back then were positive but nowadays, because farming has massive equipment and needs a lot more land to do, it has negative effects on the environment. One example of this is all of the animals that are killed by the hand of the humongous equipment used to farm crops.   ]]> 2021-11-23 19:52:06 UTC https://padlet.com/charliefield26/9jca1layepvfsnzs/wish/1909195588 charliefield26 https://padlet.com/charliefield26/9jca1layepvfsnzs/wish/1909218100 This relates to climate change and more specifically ocean health as the fish are one of the most vital parts of ocean health. I know that when the Native Americans were fishing it did not impact the climate negatively because the volume of fishing would not be enough to impact the health of the waters, but now because of all of the different fishing boats, the sea life is becoming unstable! Furthermore, fishing was a good solution for eating meat as this did not involve killing any land animals (Edmunds). I know that you are thinking that why are land animals more important, well because fish reproduce a lot more frequently and have a lot more babies, it means that fishing is a lot more sustainable than eating meat! ]]> 2021-11-23 20:08:30 UTC https://padlet.com/charliefield26/9jca1layepvfsnzs/wish/1909218100 charliefield26 https://padlet.com/charliefield26/9jca1layepvfsnzs/wish/1909218606 "Buffalo."

It also talks about the sustainability of farming and what crops they grew. Something that shocked me was that in some elements of their farming, it was actually quite sustainable for a while. I didn’t realize that the crops they grew were nature friendly and were high in nutrients and fibre for other animals around. The unsustainable part came with the land. Because of the vast amount of crops that they planted and because of the amount of people that were farming them, the land became too bad to keep planting crops in the same location. This then forced the slaves further and further west in the US. The entirety of slavers farming then became awful for the environment due to the amount of crops that were grown in a concentrated area. Also there was a huge issue with moving from place to place. The European slavers were running out of places to plant crops and also they were running out of slaves, because neither were unlimited (Sousa). Overall, enslaved Africans farming was not a sustainable thing to do and was not a good benefit for the environment. Although there were some good things that came out of it such as feeding nutrients and fibers to other creatures around! This shows that there are both good and bad things about this farming method! ]]> 2021-12-09 16:05:26 UTC https://padlet.com/charliefield26/9jca1layepvfsnzs/wish/1938595087
