Abstract | This combined textbook and workbook examines the natural environment of the Hays/Lodgepole school district, and includes some general information about the Fort Belknap Indian Reservation. Chapter 1 describes the environment of the Little Rockies, the tribal forest management, tree diseases and infestations, logging, the effects of arson and accidental fires, and geology. Chapter 2 discusses the plains area of the reservation. Topics include rangelands management, wildlife, saline seep, and pest and predator control. Chapter 3 discusses water resources and water's relationship with the surrounding environment. Chapter 4 examines wilderness areas and Fort Belknap, including the importance of wilderness preservation and its effect on the local economy. Chapter 5, "Thinking about Our Land," encourages the reader to take an environmentalist view of the reservation and its resources. This chapter specifically examines hunting and nonrenewable resource development (coal, gas, and minerals). A brief conclusion calls upon the native people of Fort Belknap to protect their reservation homeland. The document also includes numerous pictures and maps, a glossary of terms, a list of research sources and agencies, some suggested school projects, and a bibliography of 43 entries. (TES) |
