Imagine what it would be like to live as the Native Americans first did.

Native Americans
Even though we live in the present it is possible to imagine what it was life for Native Americans. Today it's called roughing the outdoors or something like that but I was roughing it today then it must have been the roughest for the Native Americans. Out clothes are warm and more advanced while their's were a thin sheet of animal hide. Predicting the past is no easy task but it can be done by artifacts they left behind. Helping us imagine what the harsh winter was like and how difficult i was to catch food.
Roots: what ground me - my mother and my brother What supports me: my family and friends My goals: to do what I can to make my life successful What I give back: I give respect to everyone who shows me respect
It is an established fact that people of European-American descent are more likely to use wilderness areas. Why do you think this is? Does your family use wilderness areas. If no, why not? If so, how?

I think Europeans are mostly acquainted with the backlands because once they first experienced nature and its beauty it's hard to stop coming to it. Every time you visit the back lands you learn something new. And I guess Europeans love to learn.
My family and I have had the privilege of camping out in the open because we heard it was a great experience and to get away from the city.
