...NFL Legend Joe Montana thinks that the Deflategate Scandal was funny and over-dramatized. He also said that he would have thought of deflating game day footballs during his playing days himself if he’d known it would give his team an advantage. “Everybody is trying to do something different,” the Hall of Fame quarterback told the Pittsburg Tribune Review. “Our offensive linemen used to spray silicone on their shirts until they got caught. Once you get caught, you get caught. Period. It doesn't take anything away from Tom (Brady's) game.” He called the rule “dumb” and stressed that Brady didn’t deflate the footballs himself, so he’s not buying the fuss about the whole thing. While Montana tried to downplay the cheating issue that the New...

...Lucas Abelar Professor Paul Hunter English 1301 8 October 2012 Several events in Chief Joseph’s term as chief of the Wallowa band show us he was more diplomat than warrior.The Voice of the West The first event happened in 1885 when, Isaac Stevens, governor of the Washington Territory, organized a council to designate separate areas for natives and settlers. Joseph the Elder (“Young Joseph’s” father) and the other Nez Perce chiefs signed a treaty with the United States establishing a Nez Perce reservation encompassing 7.7 million acres in present-day Idaho, Washington, and Oregon. The 1855 reservation maintained much of the traditional Nez Perce lands, including Josephs Wallowa Valley. The second event was an influx of new settlers caused by a gold rush led the government to call a second council in 1863.” Government commissioners asked the Nez Perce to accept a new, much smaller reservation of 780,000 acres (3,200 km2) situated around the village of Lapwai in Idaho, and excluding the Wallowa Valley.” In exchange, they were promised financial rewards and schools and a hospital for the reservation. One of the allied chiefs signed the treaty on behalf of the Nez Perce Nation, but Joseph the Elder and several other chiefs were opposed to selling their lands, and did not sign. Their refusal to sign caused a rift between the "non-treaty" and "treaty" bands of Nez Perce. The "treaty" Nez Perce moved within the new Idaho reservation's boundaries, while the "non-treaty" Nez...

...Homeless in Missoula Kelsey Brandewie Homelessness in Missoula, Mt has been a tremendous issue that the community is trying very hard to eliminate. What people do not know, is that the people out on the streets downtown and around the city, only make up 11% of the homelessness (2.) Those are not the only people struggling with life. There are families that do not have a steady home that the community does not realize need help because most of them have jobs and seem normal but in reality they are struggling to make ends meet. That is what the community needs to come together and fix. There is a rough estimate of at least 200 people who are homeless in Missoula.(1) There are of course, the visible homeless but 25% of the homeless, the “chronically” homeless that seemed to be overlooked by the community. Most of the homeless, of that 25% are families. (1) Families in which have children in them, who are trying so hard to provide for them and give them a normal life. These children attend public school but for them they never know where they will be sleeping that night once they leave school. Some of them sleep in their cars or they go from house to house but none of those houses are their homes. That is not a healthy life style for anyone to live, especially children. The sad thing is though, of all the resources that are at their feet, they only seem to use 50% of them (1.) They feel like they do not need the help as much as others might, so they are too afraid to ask for...

...“The Truth Is” By: Linda Hogan The poem “The Truth Is” written by Linda Hogan manages to tell a story, her story of coming from a culture of mixed races or dual ancestry. With her father being a Chickasaw Indian and her mother of European descent, her internal struggle appears in this poem. While not easy to interpret, the voice of another person comes through when the writer uses the first person and later refers to herself by her own name “Linda, girl, I keep telling you” The use of the first person may also indicate that she suffers with her identity and who she is. Growing up in Oklahoma, and being a writer which focuses on feminist perspectives, and women’s lives and feelings, there is evidence of this dynamic in her writings for a constant hope that she should try to forget the past and live for today. Linda is clearly conflicted and this can be seen in the first stanza. She speaks often of hands and their lack of cooperation which points to her mixed race and an unsettled past. The left hand represents her father’s side of the Chickasaw tribe and her right hand represents that of her mother’s white background. The writer also speaks of falling in love too easily and sleeping in a twin bed which is a clear indication that she is single and alone. Along with her marital status, she writes as having no possessions or having empty pockets. However by the last line in the first verse we can see that having material possessions is not important to her as its love...

...Did you know that Glacier Bay National Park is said to have been occupied by humans over 10,000 years ago? At that time, Glacier Bay was covered in mostly all ice! Now, there are areas of green, white, gray, and many flowers of color. Glacier Bay has had many changes over the years and the most important change is when it became a national park. Location & Access Glacier Bay National Park is located in Alaska. To be more specific, west of Juneau, Alaska. The only way to access the park is by either plane, or by boat, although one road almost reaches a smaller town of Alaska, called Gustavus. One of the only airlines that provides daily jet service is Alaskan Airlines. Tourists and current inhabitants arrive aboard cruise ships, charter boats, and some on their own private vessels. When this natural feature was found, it definitely was not found on a private vessel. History In 1794, a captain named George Vancouver sailed the area and created a rough interpretation of what he saw, known today as Glacier Bay. This was the first time anyone not native to this land had seen it. Eighty-five years after George Vancouver made the map, naturalist/preservationist John Muir had visited the bay. He did not take a boat, there was no plane then, and there were no roads built. The result was only taking and traveling in a canoe. Muir found that the glacier was receding up to and almost one mile per year! The result of spreading this word changed people’s perception of the horrible cold...

...I candidly don’t know why it was still called Sioux River, for it was merely a creek that divided our pasture from the Curby’s property. Mediocre, it was probably the only barrier between northern Spring Prairie Township and the southern tip of Faulkton Township. Thus, it wasn’t hard to suppose that the only bridge that spanned this insignificant river was located at the far northern edge of our pasture. This dinky old bridge wasn’t something you’ll discover on Google Earth or on a Montana state map, for it was one of those relics known only to those fearless of stepping on mucky cow pies and marching through fields of thistles. Historically, it was the sole way to cross the river, more recently it served as the exclusive stepping stone through a personal turbulent current....

...Bannack Bannack is a small ghost town located to the South of Dillon, Montana. John White and a small group of miners known as “Pike's Peakers” found gold on Grasshopper Creek in 1862. The history of Bannack starts after John White found the scad of Gold. The discovery of gold at Grasshopper Creek sparked up one of three major gold rushes in Montana. Bringing a surge of prospectors and traders alike. It became Montana’s first territorial capital and had ten thousand people at one point. In 1863 Bannack Citizens elect Henry Plummer. The people of Bannack did not know that he was an outlaw who fled to Montana. To most he was a kind and fair sheriff. Plummer came to the rockie mountains to flee his prosecution for killing a man in California, and he met a group of stagecoach robbers. Out of the back door of his good sheriff act he was the leader of a group of stagecoach robbers know as “The Innocents”. The mining in Idaho...

... My essay topic is on the Nez Perce Indians who lived between the Missouri river and the pacific coast. Today they ranged from present day central Idaho, southeastern Washington state, and northeastern Oregon. That would be the western base of the Rockies to the falls of the Columbia river. The Nez Perce tribe actually travelled in seasons like the buffalo hunting in the great plains to salmon fishing at Celilo falls. The tribe’s hunters actually crossed, the difficult, Bitterroot Mountain to hunt buffalo. Three young Nez Perce boys spotted captain William Clark and a few men approaching the Nez Perce lodges. Captain Clark and the men had pushed ahead of the corps to seek the indian tribe. The young boys were frightened and even tried to hide themselves in tall grass, but Clark found them. Clark offered each a ribbon, the ribbon signaled that friendly visitors had arrived. The Nez Perce men were away on a raid and didn’t return for two weeks. When returned they weren’t afraid of the “white men” and actually treated them to a filling meal of buffalo and dried salmon. On the clothing side, Nez Perce men wore buckskin shirts with leggings and moccasins as shoes. Occasionally men wore gloves and a feather bonnet. For women they wore long dresses made of buckskin, cornhusk hats, and moccasins. Dresses were often decorated with elk teeth, beads, and dyes. The Nez Perce had their own style that went with their background and history. In the 1830’s there were an estimated 6,000 Nez...

...Prof. Rains NAMS 2/8/11 Black Feet Siksika is translated in English to ‘black feet’. Black feet is thought to be their name because of the discoloring of their moccasins by the ashes of the prairie fires, or possibly because they painted their moccasins black. The Black Feet are a people of great spirit and confidence in their way of life. This is what allowed them to keep the black foot tribe alive to this day. The spirit of the ‘black feet’ is due to their rich heritage, customs, beliefs, art, and stories. They have been able to fend off non-stop attacks like in the late 1800’s with the official government policy of assimilation. Assimilation was the white people believing that their way of life was the best way of life and all Indians should become more like them. The Indians made it through the easterners’ restriction on their young people like speaking their first language and forcing them to dress like whites, cut their hair and go to English schools. The white peoples life style did not appeal to the Indians due to all of the genocide, disease, war, and religion. The Indians way of life is prosperous and has been successful for thousands of years in not making for themselves the problems the white people have. The Indians like being Indians, they want to be Indians, and they will always fight to remain Indians. The black feet religiously believed in medicine bundles. There were more then 50 of them and the most popular were the beaver bundles, medicine pipe bundles...

...Glacier National Park is a natural beauty located in Montana that draws tourist wanting to experience hard and soft ecotourism. It is also a location where tourist can seek out nature, wildlife, and adventure tourism. The vast area is home to 762 lakes, dozens of glaciers, waterfalls, and trails for hikers. The park has even been named the world’s first peace parks because of the tranquility (National Geographic, 2012). Glacier National Park has been untouched until mining, oil searching, housing, and logging projects have been proposed. The once undisturbed park now has a potential threat to its wildlife and natural and environment. Unless the projects are kept minimal or diminished altogether, Glacier National Park will lose its natural appeal for ecotourism. The persistence of mining and the search for oil is a hazard to the environment of the park and logging or housing depletes the nature of the park. It is extremely important for the park that these activities be limited to ensure the quality of the future for this park. The only way the park can maintain nature and the natural environment it possesses is to sustain the area so it remains untouched. The involvement of the U.S. Forest Service, government, and the Blackfeet Tribe are essential in protecting the park. The Blackfeet Tribe has controlled this area for the past two centuries and they are a key part in sustaining the park as well as the rich culture of the park (National Geographic, 2012). These entities are...
