Tuskegee Airmen

A lesson we can learn from the Tuskegee Airmen and Lt. Broad water is to always fight for what you want and nver give up even if some people try to knock you down and tell you you cant do it . They showed this by never giving up or stop what they wantd to do even though people told them they could never be a airmen.

Tuskegee Airmen

 From watching the Tuskegee Airmen movie I learned that you can accomplish a lot if you set your mind to and believe in yourself. i Also learned that you shouldn't give up on your dream no matter what happen, I say this because in the movie although Laurence Fishbourne had a dream to be a pilot and fight for all American citizens even though he watched most of his colleagues die. Another lesson I learned was that you shouldn't let negative thoughts or people brig you down because in the movie lots of men were brought down by racism and ended up committing  suicide or leaving.  I really enjoyed watching the movie and I think you will too. Watching this movie help teach me lots of lessons that would help you in life.

The Kwakiutl Tribe

Geography effected the Kwakiutl tribe because their lifestyle dealt with having rainy weather, soon they adapted to their environment, used it to provide food etc.

The Blackfoot Tribe

The Blackfoot were a powerful buffalo-hunting society of the northern plains. The Blackfoot's main source of food was buffalo. Besides cooking and cleaning, a Blackfoot woman built her family's house and dragged the heavy posts with her whenever the tribe moved. Houses belonged to the women in the Blackfoot tribe. Blackfoot men were hunters and sometimes went to war to defend their families. Most Blackfoot chiefs and warriors were men. Both genders took part in storytelling, artwork and music. Since the Blackfeet moved frequently to follow the buffalo herds, a tipi was carefully designed to set up and break down quickly, like a modern tent. An entire Blackfoot village could be packed up and ready to move within an hour.
