For this visual advocacy project, I chose to talk about the true Natives of United States of America, which are the American Indians. I composed together a six-slide PowerPoint presentation in which I described how the American Indians are being threatened today because of oil, uranium and other needs of America.
In the PowerPoint I talked about how the Native Americans were the first to occupy the United States of America. It is said that the ancestors of Native Americans came from Siberia over the Bering land bridge to occupy lands over 40 to 50,000 years ago of years ago. Indians are the true first natives of America.
Today the Native Americans are being threatened to be taken away from their lands because of uranium and oil drillings. The ohuka tribes have lived in Alaska for thousands of years and have survived using traditional hunting and harvesting skills. Because George W. Bush has approved off shore drilling the ohukan’s are being threatened for their well being because the drilling will destroy many of the natural resources that the ohukan’s use to survive.
It is because of American Indians that we celebrate certain holidays like Thanksgiving. The food that we eat on this holiday is traditional American Indian food. Indians ate turkeys and made mashed potatoes to celebrate special occasions. 60% of the American diet is Indian food. If we destroy the lands that the Indians currently occupy for oil, we will take away a part of the Indian tradition that has been carried out for hundreds of years. So we need to say no to offshore drilling, because if u look at the long term picture is it worth destroying the natural habitat and killing thousands for animals for just oil. Aren’t there other resources that we can se like electric cars, so we can save the environment and save the Indians and their traditions, so their oncoming generations can see how traditional Indians lived and hunted.
There are many Indian communities that are being threatened, because of not just the American needs for oil, but also the American need for clear white toilet paper. Many manufactures of clear white toilet paper dump thousands of pounds of waste dioxin into the lakes of Indian communities, which they depend on for fish. Dioxin is essentially the dirty water that is left over after making the toilet paper clear white. Once the dioxin is in the water it gets into the fish, which the Indians eat. An excess of dioxin can lead to many diseases and ultimately death. There is a solution to saving these lakes, if we use black or brown toilet paper instead of white, there will be much less dioxin produced and less dioxin equals better health for everyone.
So in conclusion the reason I chose to talk about the Native Americans is that their lively hood is being threatened today for oil, uranium and many other unnecessary American needs. Their environment is being destroyed by putting dioxin into the lakes they fish in and by drilling for oil right beside where they reside today. So if we don’t do anything about this a great group of traditional communities will disappear forever.

I like your topic, it's different but very important. I'm Native American so I was drawn to your blog and appreciate your research and point of view. Good job!
