Extractions: Creation stories teach that Native Americans have been where they are since the world was created. It is also thought that First Americans migrated from Siberia over the Bering Strait about 14,000 years ago, or perhaps even earlier. The land bridge was dry ground for several thousand years before the sea level rose again and stopped migration. The hunters would have followed the migrating herds of large mammals as they moved south. As the glaciers melted, the First Americans spread to the North American coasts and across the entire continent. Native Americans adapted to the climates and terrains in which they lived and used whatever natural resources were available. The arrival of the Europeans in the 1500's began a change in the lives of the Indian people that continued through the next centuries. Sometimes the changes were good. The horses brought by the Spanish made bison hunting much easier and safer. But Vikings, Spanish, English and French explorers, colonists and missionaries spread diseases, made slaves of the people, forced relocations, claimed ownership of natural resources and land, and tried to stamp out the native cultures. Some of the Indian people survived, but not without making drastic changes in their life styles.

Extractions: Native Americans of the American West General facts about the Indians of North America The first settlers of Northamerica came to the continent about 30.000 years ago, during the last ice age, via the landbrigde from Russia to Alaska. They slowly moved south-eastwards, attracted by the warmer climate and forced by further settlers. By the end of the ice age, the large glaciers melted and Alaska could not be reached by other settlers anymore. When the North American continent was discovered 1492, it was settled by over 1 Million Indians belonging to over 500 tribes. A tribe consisted of 12 up to 1000 people. Nearly all tribes spoke different languages and more than 30 language families were counted. One of the most famous is the Athapascan language family, spoken by the Navajo and Apache. Communication between these tribes was not easy. Some tribes developed a hand sign language, especially typical of the Indians of the great plains, where each tribe had its own sign to identify the members.

Extractions: In the museum business, just like so many other industries, success is often measured by growth, be it more visitors, more members, more programs, more exhibits, or any other measurable area of activity. Over the years, Historic Spanish Point has experienced tremendous growth in many ways! For example, before September 11, we were enjoying on average a 10% increase in attendance each year. Visitation is slowing resuming that trend. The number of school children coming to Historic Spanish Point for curriculum-based field trips has grown from around 2,600 in 1996 to over 5,000 children annually. Membership support has also increased from 650 members five years ago to nearly 900 today. Other program activities have expanded tremendously as well, with boat building classes, spring break programs, and specialized tours reaching new audiences every year. Our success - capped with Museum Accreditation last summer - has been possible because a quality team of museum professionals, supported by an exceptional corps of volunteers, is dedicating their best energies to Historic Spanish Point. Solid fundraising activities, spearheaded by an equally dedicated Board of Directors, provide the resources for salaries, benefits, and essential supplies and equipment necessary for staff and staff to do their best work.

Extractions: An astrological forecast The sun makes a perfect sextile to the moon as the polls close in Washington DC, this is an extraordinarily fateful election for America - and the world - destiny calls. The Republican party make a respectable showing, Dole like an old gunfighter strides out to make a fight of it, but it could ruin his health as the superhuman strains of campaigning drain America's oldest ever contender. If his birth time is correct, and there is some debate about this, he could have a tragic end, very likely linked to the breakdown of his health after this campaign. The choice is between Dole's appeal to turn back to a simpler old America - he hates and resists change - and Clinton's 'bridge to the future'. Clinton is a strange amalgamation of an even older America, he has links via his father to the pioneering West Texas mentality and through his mother, I believe, to native American blood. Here are links to an America that existed long ago. The Confederate South and the America of the American tribes with their deep affinity to the land and its ways. The native Americans always claimed they would return in quarter and eighth vestiges, America now has possibly its first native American chief, none other than Bill Clinton!
Extractions: The American Fisheries Society The Cell: Pseudo-nitzschia are large pennate diatoms. Off California, Oregon and Washington at least three species (P.australis, P.pseudodeli-catissima and P.multiseries) appear to be toxic and detection of the toxic species must be done using an electron microscope or tagging with a compound specific for the genetics of the cell. R. Horner Distribution: These diatoms are common to most of the world's oceans. Off the US west coast, Pseudo-nitzschia are common from spring to fall but are present in the coastal ocean all year long. History: Pseudo-nitzschia has caused problems from areas as divergent as the Maritime Provinces of Canada in 1987 to the west Coast of the US. The domoic acid produced by some Pseudo-nitzschia species causes neurologic damage and fatalities in humans, marine mammals and seabirds. How Do the Blooms Start? The Juan de Fuca eddy region (cold water) is a site of persistent upwelling (nutrient enrichment) throughout the summer months. Blooms of Pseudo-nitzschia may initiate in this zone. The duration of upwelling and the timing of the first major fall storms are factors believed to influence the levels of toxin that reach coastal razor clam populations.

Extractions: Notes (The West) The West. As conservative Democratic governments were restored to power in the South, some blacks began to feel that their only hope for achieving equality would be to move west. During the late 1870’s many left the Deep South for places like Kansas. They became known as " Exodusters" after the Old Testament Exodus. You can read the testimony of one of the Exodus leaders, Benjamin Singleton, by clicking here These African-Americans were joined by thousands of whites who migrated westward throughout the second half of the 19 th century. Actually, westward migration had started long before the Civil War. In 1846, Mormons began their famous "trek" from Nauvoo, Illinois to Salt Lake City, Utah. Other trails blazed through the western territory included the Oregon Trail, the California Trail and the Santa Fe Trails. Settlers would follow these trails, sometimes going all the way to the Pacific Coast, other times establishing communities along the way. There were a number of reasons for westward migration. Obviously, the Mormons sought freedom from religious persecution. The discovery of

Sea Kayaking Nootka Sound and Hiking the Nootka-Trail Nootka, Native North Americans whose language belongs to the Wakashan branch of the Algonquian-Wakashan linguistic stock. The Nootka proper are a small group on the west coast of Vancouver Island, but the name is also used to refer to the Aht Confederacy, which formerly included more than 20 tribes. Traditional Nootka culture was fundamentally that of the Northwest Coast area; they fished for salmon, lived in long wooden houses, and created elaborate totem poles. In 1991 there were some 4000 Nootka in 15 bands in Canada. The so-called Nootka hats of woven fibre were common among other tribes of this area. With the exception of the Makah and a few of their neighbours, they were the only Native Americans on the Pacific coast who hunted whales. Nootka Sound, inlet of the Pacific Ocean and natural harbor on the west coast of Vancouver Island lying between the mainland and Nootka Island. The mouth of the sound was sighted 1774 by Juan Perez the Spanish explorer. The sound itself was visited by Capt. James Cook 1778, who was the first European to land in that region. John Meares, the British explorer, established a trading post on Nootka Sound in 1778. Its seizure by Spaniards in 1789 became the subject of a controversy between Spain and England over claims in the region. The Nootka
Extractions: Christopher Columbus was the first European to report seeing a manatee in the New World. To Columbus, and other sailors who had been at sea for a long time, manatees were reminiscent of mermaids the mythical half-fish, half-woman creatures of the ocean. Manatees are not fish, however, but marine mammals. The West Indian or Florida manatee (and sometimes called sea cow) is found primarily along the coast of Florida. Most adult manatees are about 10 feet long and weigh 800 to 1,200 pounds, although some larger than 12 feet and weighing as much as 3,500 pounds have been recorded. These "gentle giants" have a tough, wrinkled brown-to-gray skin that is continuously being sloughed off. Hair is distributed sparsely over the body. With stiff whiskers around its mouth, the manatee's face looks like a walrus without tusks. The manatee maneuvers through the water moving its paddle- like tail up and down and steering with its flippers. It is very agile for such a large animal, sometimes somer-saulting and doing barrel rolls in the water. The manatee often rests suspended just below the water's surface with only the snout above water. It feeds underwater, but must surface periodically to breath. Although the manatee can remain underwater for as long as 12 minutes, the average time is 4 1/2 minutes.

Extractions: by Lora Ivanova A single phone call, seven months ago, made me one of the happiest people on Earth I was one of the two recipients of the Fischlowitz Travel Fellowship for international students. My proposal was to research the relationship between culture and the environment through topics in theater and film in the United States. Comparing the East and the West, urban and rural settings, I wanted to explore the interaction between international influences, established local traditions and the surroundings. I would make a documentary about my investigation and impressions as I traveled around the country. I didnt fully conceive the complex net of arrangements and tools I would need to make my idea a reality, nor the impact this trip would have on my life. I was excited about the adventure. Now past, my two months of travel evoke crisp memories from a one of a kind experience. I started my trip at the East Coast, an unquestionable Mecca for theatre. I saw various performances, including The Lion King, Blue Man Group, Streb GO!, and India Ink. I met with actors, dancers, magicians, producers, designers, directors, and was amazed by the variety of nationalities and backgrounds building the performing scene. The closer geographic proximity to European cultures and travelers from different countries clearly influenced the variety of topics and styles. The East Coast was also a great source on the history of the US and its founding principles. After Sept. 11, access to certain public spaces was highly limited, which obstructed my appreciation of life in the Sates. My visits to museums and a powwow (a festive meeting of Native American tribes), however, allowed me to experience the culture of Native Americans, and America through the years.
