What I read about the articles was how our tradition and culture was important to us as a Native American. Who we are as a Native American are representors for our ancestors and passing on to each generation. For example having dances, planting crops at the fields, having cattle and horses, going hunting for food, utilizing the environment that nature has for us. In our culture we are to remain who we are with the life that is still given through everything that is being practiced to this day.
The article is reflecting my topic by the way we are connected to the Rio Grande and how it is important to us and how we respect the river as it still remains. Ever since we had our first leader in our community which was the war chiefs and before my community had a place for a village. The war chief scouted and scouted till he came upon the top of the mesa and saw a perfect spot for his village to be. He chose the place close to the river because it was better for us for ritual doings, prayers, and to give us life because without water we would be alive.

Using traditional Inuit knowledge and Western science to study Arctic marine life
Using traditional Inuit knowledge and Western science to study Arctic marine life
The article I read had to do with a young indegenous lady that had experiences in her life growing up with the way the water changed to todayś issues with oil spillage in the freshwater. She cared more for the animals that lived in the seas and their habitat with the adaptation to clean watersheds. When she talks about the animals like whales and sea lions ,the tribe she comes from harvested those animals and was a way of survival. This made an issue to the government that it was a bad abuse to the animal life with these tribes going out on boats killing ¨innocent creatures¨ but they didn't know the history of it. At this point they call other tribes/nations to come together and help terminate the issue of having law with killing animals in the water.
Since time moved by fighting for the issue more issues had come along like the oil dumping in the water that causes very harmful damage to freshwater and the animals. It really makes a bad impact on their life and the connection they have with water to how sacred it is. It's like the problems become worse each time and having to protest for our land and water source today's modern issue with the pipelines in the river and animals that live in the water.

Climate change effect on Water
Climate change effect on Water
The current flow conditions we have that are occurring in the Rio Grande are decreasing each day, about 15 percent(cfc) of the water level. This could affect the river from having recreational events. This might not all be true, I read and heard about the cochiti lake and their techniques of a great water source for the Rio Grande. They try to store as much water in the winter and this is because there are very much fewer people who use the water mainly for plantations and for animal starvation. Then when summer hits, the water that was use for storage over the winter can now be added into the river which would increase the water level 35% of its CFC. The reason for this is because water is being used more so than in the winter. It gets hot and that's when we all need water to replenish and grow just like plants that come out and the animals needing water for survival under the hot sun.
As of today's current information to the Rio Grande is having the Rio Grande run higher each every 2 weeks this helps form more species to hibernate more and there could multiply over a matter of weeks. Plants on the Rio Grande river banks start to have more plants like new trees growing and the water they're getting is the great source when it comes to having an average water level or higher. The water is increasing due to climate change in today's weather, it tends to be getting warm of an average up to 65 F in the winter and some farmers could be out planting in this condition but could be for wild life as well such as cattle and horses, etc .
Rescuing Reefs
Rescuing Reefs
Every year during the lunar cycle with the changes in Florida's ocean , Species in the reefs fertilize their eggs that settled onto the reef as larvae,and seed the next generation. About more than 800 known species of reef-building corals, the international Union for conservation of Nature classifies more ¼ as vulnerable and endangered or critically endangered. There are warnings that the temperature rises and so what happens is causing extinction risk for corals. Within the rising temperatures, pollution, disease, increased ocean acidity, invasive species, and other hazards Harrison ghost cities are sprawling.
There was a scientist that discovered ¨micro fragments¨ sawed off. These corals act a bit like wounded skin, growing extremely quickly some 10 times faster than larger cuttings. The corals would die and their color would turn white making them look like little skeleton skulls. This happens because of climate change and so when the temperatures rise, marine life like shrimp, corals etc.. going deeper in the sea which makes it harder for the fishermen who go out to get food would be a struggle for them. The climate change makes the ice melt that makes the water level rise and makes it a problem for those who live along the shore.
