The Native American Sioux Tribe
The native American Standing Rock Sioux Tribe has a legitimate concern. These particular grounds have been under their influence for hundreds of years. This tribe along with many other have the right to express their concern. It is not uncommon for Native American tribes to live off land immediately within their proximity. If the water was to be contaminated it would have dire consequences for this tribe and many others. It would probably be safe to assume many burial sites and locations of worship would be disturbed as well. Any self-respecting corporations would recognize this dilemma immediately and take the appropriate actions to mitigate collateral damage, public scrutiny and most the degradation of a prideful

    Hum-111 Week 2 Assignment

    I live close to a closed down oil refinery that was operated by Amoco in Sugar Creek, Missouri. The surrounding neighborhoods once thriving and full of families currently stands desolate and empty because of the pollutants from the now closed refinery. The property values dropped and Amoco bought the homes in the surrounding neighborhoods. I have taken several drives through these areas just out of curiosity and I see the homes as a sign of the carelessness of the oil industry. Amoco claims the ground water is polluted but there is no trace of the pollutants in the drinking water. When I was a child I would drink water…

    Gaslands Part II

    Obviously, polluting groundwater that people use to drink breaks many environmental rules set by the government and the Environmental Protection Agency. The people of Dimock and other areas (Pavillion, Wyoming, parts of Arkansas, and multiple places across Texas were the spots highlighted in the movie) had water that was not only undrinkable because of such high toxin content, but could be lit on fire because of the extreme amounts of gas in it. When the EPA was brought in to evaluate however, they declared the water “clean”, even though they had results that were released afterwards that obviously said the water was extremely dangerous to drink. The operation was just too profitable to make the oil companies stop. The control over the EPA was a…

    The Gas Man Cometh

    The documentary, “Gas Land”, by Josh Fox, is a film about the problems with contaminated groundwater due to excessive and unregulated natural gas extraction across the country. In the film, Fox travels all over to talk to many people who have rented out their land to natural gas companies, only to get contaminated water and no help from any company or organization with the problems that ensue. Fox uses many techniques in his film to get across his point that America should not be subjected into a wasteland because of poor industry ethics and unregulated polluting of our water sources. By building his appeals, especially to ethos, as well as arranging many elements of the film, Fox creates a very staunch argument.…

    Blackfoot Tribe

    There are three geographical-linguistic groups, but when they’re looked at as a collective, they’re known as Blackfoot. The term Blackfoot is most likely coined due to the practice of coloring their moccasins with ashes. The three groups got together only during ceremonies. The Blackfoot were known as one of the most aggressive groups in North America because when they fought, it was typically raiding enemies for horses or just getting revenge. Their homes were usually made out of bison hide which was supported by poles. During the summer, they lived in big camps where they engaged in activities such as the Sun Dance. In the winter they separated into groups of of 10-20 families. There were multiple leaders, but only one…

    The Shawnee Tribe

    Did you know that the Shawnee Indian tribe is a fascinating tribe? I recently have learned that they are nomads. Nomads are people who travel instead of settling in one place. Southern Ohio, West Virginia, and western Pennsylvania were a couple of states they once lived in. Until around 1660 Iroquois drove out the tribe to southern Carolina, Tennessee’s Cumberland basin, eastern Pennsylvania, and southern Illinois. They had tried to return, but again they were forced to leave by American settlers. The settlers pushed them first to Missouri and then to Kansas, but the Shawnee people settled in Oklahoma after the Civil War.…
