Grand Canyon History
Would you rather have a national park or nothing at all. Have you ever been to a Providence Canyon? If so, did you feel like you where in a Grand Canyon. Well many people call Providence Canyon the little Grand Canyon. I am against the federal government decision. We should have a national park. Maybe if we had a national park more people would go out and see it.

I am for the federal government decision, because the farmers came down cutting the trees and, started planting their seeds in long straight lines. Since the soil region is very soft and sandy, therefore when it rains the plowed soil would be washed away by erosion. When farmers moved the area in the early 1800's and started growing the time periods most profitable crop,

    In my opinion I would have to disagree with building dog parks in Muscatine, Iowa. My main reason for disagreeing with building a park for dogs is my son is allergic to dogs. Some dog owners can be very irresponsible when it comes to cleaning up after their dogs poo on the grass. Why should the city fund a dog park with taxpayer money when that money can be used to build a recreational area for residents.…

    Safe and permanent disposal of highly radioactive wastes in the United States has been sought after since radioactive materials first came about. In 1982, the Nuclear Waste Policy Act (NWPA) created a procedure for establishing a lasting, underground repository for high-level radioactive waste. Congress assigned responsibility to the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) to site, construct, operate, and close a repository for the disposal of spent nuclear fuel and high-level radioactive waste. Ten sites were chosen by DOE for potential consideration and in 1987, Yucca Mountain in Nye County, Nevada was selected as the lone site to be studied.…

    Grand Teton National Park is named for Grand Teton, the tallest mountain in the Teton Range. The naming of the mountains is attributed to early 19th-century French speaking trappers—"les trois tetons" (the three teats) was later anglicized and shortened to Tetons. At 13,775 feet (4,199 m), Grand Teton abruptly rises more than 7,000 feet (2,100 m) above Jackson Hole, almost 850 feet (260 m) higher than Mount Owen, the second highest summit in the range. The park has numerous lakes, including 15-mile (24 km) long Jackson Lake as well as streams of varying length and the upper…

    They found that the park was not an enterprise dependent on the use of land that could be assembled only by government action, so the government did not have to step in unless absolutely necessary to still reap the benefits of the business and technology park. It also would not be subject to public oversight after being sold to private entities if eminent domain was not enforced here. Additionally, there were no facts of independent public significance, such as safety and health issues to justify condemnation. Because there isn’t an obvious public purpose, which is what eminent domain is centered around, the courts went against case precedent, saying Poletown did it wrong, letting the nineteen people stay on their property, and proving that the power of eminent domain is not a power that is always abused by officials, and the restraints put on it to determine whether something is a sufficient public purpose does protect us from abuse of the…

In addition, he uses strong gestural marks combined with straight color application create a sense of emotion and the sublime, while capturing the immensity of the canyon.

    According to the Preface (xvii) of Crimes Against Nature, Jacoby explains his belief of American history as he states “American history is a history that regards humans and nature not as two distinct entities but as interlocking parts of a single, dynamic whole”. Though his ideas have a broad selection, Jacoby constructs his argument on three case studies he has previously done: the creation and administration of Adirondack Park by the State of New York in the late nineteenth century; the federal government efforts to manage Yellowstone National Park through civilian life and military activities between the 1870s and 1910s; and the different protection ideas and efforts at the grand canyon by different public land agencies from the 1890s and 1930s. In each one of these cases, selecting certain boundaries and rules for these areas had consequences for the residents who lived in that area. In Adirondack Park in New York, the mountains surrounded some of the little towns and abutted others meaning a serious concern of limited use of the forest for natural…

    II. The Great Plains Indians flourish during that time because tribes like the Sioux got horses and guns from the Europeans. This was an advantage that other Indians did not have. The Sioux became more powerful because while regular Indians were using bow and arrows the Sioux used guns which were far more deadly. Other Indian tribes were not as lucky as the Sioux. Many tribes died because of diseases from the Europeans. Also due to the high racial tensions at this time people did not like the Indians being on land that they could use. This resulted in many Indian massacres and whites forming groups to exterminate Indians…

    Tar Creek Conflict Theory

    • 676 Words
    • 3 Pages

    Picher and Tar Creek are products of the long history of maltreatment of Native Americans in this country. The Quapaw Indians were forced from their home in Arkansas onto a reservation encompassing the Tar Creek region and attempted to make a life but were continuously bullied by the federal government and big mining businesses with no regard for their well being or future. The government went as far as naming many Indian land owners unfit to make decisions so that they did not have to be consulted for the mining companies to dig up their land. When the damage was done and the area became a superfund site, the businesses that had made so much money at the expense of the Quapaw tribe were not held responsible and the government attempted several half hearted clean up attempts to sweep the issue under the rug. When eventually they had to buyout the town they did it as cheaply and quickly as possible with clear prejudice against the Native Americans still in Picher. The government did a good job of keeping the issue quiet and the people of Picher became discouraged and accepted their defeat eventually relocating with the little they had left. The Quapaw tribe was left with this worthless and toxic land with no reparations paid and the evidence that the danger is spreading constantly. Unfortunately I think that the issue will not truly be resolved until it begins to hurt those in power personally or as a nation we push for a resolution and our…

    Land Controversy

    • 1073 Words
    • 5 Pages

    The city was not able to maintain this land and I imagine they would not do much better with more land. Another reason I do not think this should have been given up is because the Broadmoor just wants to make more money. They already have extensive land so I ask myself, why they could not have a house stable there? If their property is close to the hotel they are able to make more money from renting out a picnic spot and conducting horse. They way that they originally decided to buy the land or not was though the public vote I believe that they should have given it back to the public to decide. Land controversy will always be fought over as our world is developing. I think that it is important that people work together for a common goal to protect and preserve land for future generations. It is vital that we look beyond exploitation of our natural resources for greed to what we are leaving to our…

    In today’s world, flying is generally an extraordinarily safe experience. Within the last five years, only one fatal plane crash has occurred. This is an impressive record considering that more than 87,000 flights can be found in United States airspace on any given day (NATCA). However, air safety has not always been as advanced as it is currently. Past accidents and collisions have triggered crucial safety improvements over the years.
