This week, the namesake waterway of the nation's second-largest city opened for unrestricted public recreation for the first time since the 1930s -- when devastating floods prompted officials to close public access to the river and pave its banks with concrete to improve storm drainage, officials said. Raymond was the third person to paddle a 2.5-mile section that's now wide open for public use. Even the name of this stretch of the 51-mile river captures its natural allure: Elysian Valley. "My experience was, 'wow,'" said Raymond, who plied the waters as a representative of the Los Angeles River Expeditions and the Los Angeles Kayak Club. "There's always the sound of water.
Digging for the Truth of the Lost Colony of Roanoke It was May 8th of 1587. Over 100 pioneers from Plymouth landed in the New World in attempt to found England's first stable colony. The Host of this movie, Josh Bernstein who is also an American Explorer, Author, Survival Expert, and Anthropologist (Wikipedia) investigates the cause as to the 100 settlers’ disappearance. In attempt to do so, Host Bernstein of “Digging for the Truth of the Lost Colony of Roanoke” glides over Roanoke Island near the Coast of North Carolina, tests the climates conditions, examines traces of the pioneers and the ships in which they used, and sees how one lived in an everyday life. He hopes there are still some ancestors alive to this day.

There were 144 settlers (primarily men) who set sail for America and only 104 of them survived the journey. They landed on the northern east coast of America, on a peninsula, in the Chesapeake Bay, which they named Jamestown.

Although filled with uncertainty and peril, it offered both civil and religious liberty. For over two months, the 102 passengers braved the harsh elements of a vast storm-tossed sea.

Jamestown was the first successful English settlement on the mainland of North America. for King James I of England, Jamestown was founded in the Colony of Virginia on May 14, 1607.

Conversely, the bow and arrow, which has become the hallmark of Native people was probably introduced by Pre-Dorset groups prior to the Woodland Period (200 B.C. - A.D. 1750), when this weapon became prevalent throughout the continent. The coastal location of many of the sites suggests that boats were used. At Churchill, the Seahorse Gully Site, which represents the largest excavated Pre-Dorset occupation in Manitoba was located a rocky archipelago in the ancient Tyrrell Sea in the present Hudson Bay region. Summer access to this site would have required water craft, although faunal remains suggest a late winter camp (Meyer

A Project of Empowerment Squared building liv e s through lite rac y INTRODUCTION – FROM LIBERIA TO CANADA AND BACK AGAIN Liberia, a nation of nearly four million on Africa’s west coast between Sierra Leone and Ivory Coast, is the continent’s oldest republic. Founded by freed American slaves in 1847, its name and history are conduits of hope and transformation, but in the last decades of the Twentieth Century, fierce civil conflict and interethnic war eviscerated a proud nation. More than 750,000 Liberians fled their homeland as refugees. One of those refugees was a fifteen-year-old Leo Johnson. While most Canadian teenagers unlocked the internet, watched Friends and learned to drive, Leo spent eight years in refugee camps in Ivory Coast and Ghana.
Therefore the reconstruction of early America demands a great amount of imagination for the interpretation of the era’s anthropology, archeology, and oral tradition-later recorded by Europeans. Richter uses his first chapter ‘Imagining a Distant World’ as a double entendre. He is describing the motivation that drove tens of thousands to leave Europe in search of a storied new land, while simultaneously admitting that he too is using his imagination to reconstruct an image of early America. Richter sites Carl Becker’s “Every Man His Own Historian”, which was published in American History Review, to support his admitted use of imagination in the reconstruction of events through the eyes of those who were facing
