In this article it refers back to the connection that Native Americans have with the earth and body traditionally. This really emphasizes that we the people need to understand the gift of the relationship that we have with the land and earth mentally and physically but really showing the gift from the creator.

 In this article it talks about how the landscape and the Indigenous people belong to it and how it holds the identity of the landscape but explains why those sites are there and its beliefs that hold a sacred meaning to the community. And how the stories line up with the land and the teachings it holds within the pueblo. That gives the upcoming generation to have that understanding about that connection.

For my global connections I have a article that deals with similar problems in asia/mongolia they are dealing with overgrazing from their cattle that are slowly changing the landscape of the mongolian altai mountains in their region. This overgrazing is causing other mammals such as the snow leopard and siberian ibex to avoid the livestock presence this makes them go out further to chase and hunt down their prey. The chinese government established a giant panda national park that said grazing represents a traditional way of life then in 2019 the growth of grazing increased by 1.4% this turned their attention to the wildlife within over three years of (2019-2022) to deal with the grazing that the cattle where doing in the altai mountains.

In alaska the feral cattle their own island witch is chirikof where over 2,000 feral cattle roam. These cattle are left to thrive until they die apparently the cattle were brought in from the russians and they left the cattle once the U.S bought alaska in 1867. The cattle have been there ever since then at one point there was a farm boy from Iowa and a salesman who heard about the island and about the feral cattle so he bought the wild herd and soon later he got wind that the government was going to declare those cattle. In 1927 he got help from the congress to declare those cattle his he got them but up until 1939 he was hit with so much wild cattle that it got to him and he just gave up. Then in the 1980 the government created the alaska maritime national wildlife refuge to help take over the wild cattle on the island.             Isabella, J., & Isabella, J. (2024, January 24).
