Nate Saint

On August 30, 1923, in Pennsylvania, Nate Saint was born. Having an older brother like Sam, who was a flying instructor, gave Nate a desire to be a pilot at a young age. Not knowing that one day it would land him in Ecuador. Sounds good so far right? A young boy wanting to be a pilot grows up and actually becomes a pilot, not all stories have that “fairy-tale” ending though. Nate would end up dying in Ecuador doing missionary work although, his story became one of the most ispirational stories about men and women of God ever. Now, there's only one left thing to do, find out everything in the middle. Why be a missionary? How did he die? Let's see....

Nate was one of eight siblings. He had strict parents, which led to him going to sunday school and bible study every week at church. Nate never rebelled against it so, he was a christian his whole life. Taking flying lessons in high school, Nate served in the Air Force in World War II(WWII). After the war, he joined the Missionary Aviation Fellowship in 1948. Nate was joined by Ed McCully, Jim Elliot, and Peter Fleming going to Ecuador. They began to make frequent air-to-ground contacts with the Huaorani village.

In the dense rain-forests of Ecuador lived a tribe of Indians who called themselves the Huaorani(“people” in their language) but, their neighbors called them Aucas(“savages in Quechua). They had been completely isolated from the world until Nate, his family, and the missionaries came. After three months of sending gifts and such, Nate and his team decided to make a ground contact. They were joined by Roger Youderian, he had beeen working with the Jivarios, another Indian tribe. The team decided that they were gonna carry guns but that they would not shoot at the Indians but instead, fire it into the air as a warning in case any threat of danger was presented. Before they left off, each guy said goodbye to his family, not knowing if they would come back or not but just trusting God that

    set out on this three-hundred-mile journey, and didn’t want to see him go. The three-hundred-mile journey was long and over hard and rugged country, but he loved every minute of it. He felt a sense that he was finally getting closer to what he had been searching for……life on the range. The frontier where they were headed was known for its violence, so the thought of anyone going there was concerning. Over the previous thirty years it had been one of the deadliest places on the frontier, and although the threat had dissipated some with the end of the Red River Campaign, violent raids from Comanche Indians and outlaw bandits were still a common occurrence. Not all of the Indians had been killed or captured, and it was still not uncommon for them to sneak off the reservation and conduct raids. A majority of the raids on the northwestern frontier were believed to be conducted by Comanche and Kiowa from the Fort Sill reservation in the Indian Territory, but non-reservation Comanche were also suspected, and they inhabited the Llano Estacado, just west of where they were headed.

Cabeza de Vaca was just 37 years old when he went to northeastern Mexico on a journey.

    Barbara Myeroff, of Peyote Hunt, The Sacred Journey of the Huichol Indians, writes of the rituals within the Huichol religion and generalizes, “Rituals occur, significantly, in dangerous situations” (239). These dangerous situations often occur as a result of a time of change and the dangers may either be a literal physical risk to well-being or it can be a perceived fear. It is interpreted that ritual can be utilized to stabilize a variety of dangerous changing environments to meet societal norms, so that the danger may be controlled.…

    It has been countless years since I have watched a movie about Native Americans, and even longer since I have witnessed a decent one. Most films on the subject of the Native American people are often set in the past and are habitually on the subject of brave Indian warriors. I had never viewed a Native American motion picture filmed in a present day setting, dealing with contemporary issues until I watched Smoke Signals. In the movie Smoke Signals, co-producer and scriptwriter Sherman Alexie uses unexpected humor, numerous significant flashbacks, and modernized Native American storytelling traditions to best narrate his story and the historical plight of Native Americans.…

    Age discrimination is existent. Older employees are defined as members of the “mature” generation (58 or more years old); younger employees are members of three generations—the Baby Boom (post World War II or 38 – 57 year olds), Generation X (23 – 37 year olds), and Generation Y (18 – 22 year olds). “The key to a company’s future success will be its adaptability – its capacity to deploy resources quickly to seize competitive opportunities and to draw from a labor pool that features a mix of multi-skilled, full-time workers, and specifically-skilled, contingent employees who contribute on a part-time or temporary basis” (Hall and Mirvis, 1998). Research is conducted when individuals or businesses want to find out the connection, if any, between two or more things. This paper will discuss, “Will hiring younger employees to take the place of older employees increase the productivity of a business?”…

    “Who’s your favorite Indian? …Nobody, nobody, nobody…” as Victor, the pessimistic protagonist of a movie “Smoke Signals”, set in the 1970’s asserts, revealing indignity towards his own nation when his drunken father asks him who his favorite Indian is. The Native American population, having been discriminated against and vexed by the White American society, underwent great stress and prejudice, and therefore was locked in a vicious cycle of the discrimination towards their nation and the consumption of alcohol. Just as Victor was ashamed of his father’s alcoholism, the nation itself was similarly ashamed of this social issue. “ The last successful chapter in any genocide is when the oppressor can remove his hands my god what is this people doing to themselves, their killing each other and then it becomes a situations where they can blame them” (TED talk). Apart from the internal factors that induced shame on this nation by the nation itself, there were also other external factors that mortified the Native Americans with their…

    The Old Man at the Bridge

    • 2528 Words
    • 11 Pages

    An old man with steel rimmed spectacles and very dusty clothes sat by the side of the road. There was a pontoon bridge across the river and carts, trucks, and men, women and children were crossing it. The mule- drawn carts staggered up the steep bank from the bridge with soldiers helping push against the spokes of the wheels. The trucks ground up and away heading out of it all and the peasants plodded along in the ankle deep dust. But the old man sat there without moving. He was too tired to go any farther. It was my business to cross the bridge, explore the bridgehead beyond and find out to what point the enemy had advanced. I did this and returned over the bridge. There were not so many carts now and very few people on foot, but the old man was still there. "Where do you come from?" I asked him. "From San Carlos," he said, and smiled. That was his native town and so it gave him pleasure to mention it and he smiled. "I was taking care of animals," he explained. "Oh," I said, not quite understanding. "Yes," he said, "I stayed, you see, taking care of animals. I was the last one to leave the town of San Carlos." He did not look like a shepherd nor a herdsman and I looked at his black dusty clothes and his gray dusty face and his steel "Various animals," he said, and shook his head. "I had to leave them." I was watching the bridge and the African looking country of the Ebro Delta and wondering how long now it would be before we would see the enemy, and listening all the while for the first noises that would signal that ever mysterious event called contact, and the old man still sat there. "What animals were they?" I asked. "There were three animals altogether," he explained. "There were two goats and a cat and then there were four pairs of pigeons." And you had to leave them?" I asked. "Yes. Because of the artillery. The captain told me to go because of the artillery." "And you have no family?" I asked, watching…
