If your family is starving but the laws told you that you cannot go out and get food, what do you do? A similar question was running circles in Tommy Pikok Sr. and John Nusunginya’s head when the law told him he could not provide food for his family. In 1961 the Duck-In began when the Migratory Bird Treaty was signed. This treaty outlawed hunting from March to September when the birds were only available for harvest in Alaska. As a result, the hungry Iñupiaq people in Barrow decided to pay no mind to the law and protested.

I claim the meaning and purpose of this sculpture and its setting is to exist as a place for all people to gather, reflect, pray and meditate but more importantly, to feel protected. This shrine for Saint Kateri Tekakwitha inspires these actions and feelings in a number of different ways. One way the sculpture conjures feelings of protection and safety is because of the mere fact that Saint Kateri is a woman. The individuals that look upon the sculpture are immediately met with a loving gaze, a gaze that looks similar to the look a cherishing and nurturing mother would give to her child. The Native Americans of this community can directly relate to this work of art due to the fact that the person being represented shares their ethnicity.

This new American State will be called Monkaushka derived from the Native American term: trembling earth or earthquake. The people that live in this state are incredibly friendly people who have a tendency to be outspoken with their beliefs and warm in their hearts. They are homely folk who tend not to leave their close knit areas for too long. There is an folk tale that crawls around the towns that no one has ever left this state; only those who weren’t born here can come and go. You would think that is ridiculous, but the landscape that this state resides on is unlike any other state and can verify the legend for many people.

Good Morning Vera, Thanks for inviting me to speak in your class. Other than my thesis defense, I 've never read my words out loud to a broader audience. I read somewhere that you wrote your desertion on Kateri Tekakwitha. In my memoir, I wrote about my experience seeing Kateri in Auriesville, NY at the Shrine of the North American Martyr. I looked at my mom all confused, because I had never seen an indian statue by an altar in plain view.

He sentenced the father to 21 to 42 years in prison, and gave his wife a sentence of 20 to 40 years.

Young Elizabeth “Betty” Parris and Abigail Williams were cousins, but also best friends. The girls enjoyed playing together and listening to the stories of their slave, Tituba. Because of their connections with the church the girls had most likely grown up with Puritan beliefs and were strongly influenced by that culture. The girls knew all ten of the commandments and were familiar with what they were and weren't allowed to do by the ways of Lord. With this strong Christian influence, 9-year-old Betty and 12-year-old Abigail were the last people expected to get caught up in a witchcraft scandal.

On January 29, 1991, a vile crime occurred in the Heikkila home in Basking Ridge, New Jersey.

During the Heian period, Korean esoteric Buddhist art was highly valued in Japan, and many Korean artists were invited to work in Japan. The Taizokai mandara reflects the influence of Korean esoteric Buddhist art in its use of vivid colors, detailed depictions of the Buddhist cosmos, and symmetrical composition. The Taizokai mandara reflects several unique features that are characteristic of Japanese art. One of these characteristics is the use of gold leaf, which was a common feature of Japanese art during the Heian period.

Bawa’s concept sought to emphasize his immediate impressions of the site – an impenetrable ridge occupied by an old cave hermitage, opening up to a broad vista across the Kandalama tank to Sigiriya. The drama of the view was to be enhanced by compressing the entrance through a narrow cave-like passage, seemingly tunneling through the ridge (figure 8). On the other side, the visitor would arrive on an upper level of an artificial cliff, separated from but aligned with the contours of the rock face. His proposal was highly sensitive to the landscape in which it was situated, offering a heightened sense of the topography of the site whilst concealing the mass of the building along the cliff edge. The building was also to be masked in a blanket of vegetation so that no trace of it could be seen from afar.
