The book by the Modoc tribe “When Grizzlies Walked Upright” shows that their cultural beliefs matter a lot to them. “The Earth on Turtle’s Back” talks about how much respect the Onondaga tribe has for the natural world. They believe that each creature has its own power. The book shows kindness and respect for one another. Even though the Sky Chief did not show any respect for the nature, when he asked the men to uproot the tree, he still respected the nature and his wife by uprooting the tree just to make her dream come true.

Native American creation stories do not provide a viewpoint of humans having dominion over the earth. Tribal children instead are taught that they live in cooperation with plants and animals, and there must be a high level of mutual respect for anything to be done. A lack of reverence for the Earth can lead to dire consequences, such as drought or famine. Native Americans also view creation to be an ongoing process, never ending and always evolving. A spirit is found in all things.
The title, 'To A God Unknown' is appropriate, because Joseph Wayne is having a hard time deciding what he believes in. Joseph believes that a magnificent tree on the farms property embodies his father's spirit. He also believes that the tree is a symbol of life, and that if the tree dies, or starts to lose life, the farm will not prosper as well, and the dry years may even come back. Joseph does not acknowledge God, and believes his 'worship' to the tree is not sinful. Steinbeck is indirectly saying that structured religion is an important thing, because informalized religion can lead to Pagan beliefs, and many different opinions.
The cycle of life requires both human and nature's input. A tree cannot grow even with the help of the Earth's natural resources, water and light, without man initially planting the seed. The poem "Planting a Sequoia" written by Dana Gioia unites man and nature. The death of a man becomes the birth of tree. Creating a grave and planting a tree requires the same action, digging a hole.
As the insects died on or around the plant, they enriched the soil with organic matter. Within a few years, the lupine patches became biological hotspots facilitating the growth of other plant species and attracting numerous insects, birds, and small mammals. The flourishing of life on the Pumice Plain of Mount St. Helens today may have begun with that lone lupine. Crisafulli said that it was the lupine wildflowers that taught him one of the key lessons of succession: the importance of

Food Web Diagram Joe Almonti Introduction to Life Science Duyen Nguyen October 26, 2012 [pic] The sun is the primary and originating source of any ecosystem and this is no different in the temperate broadleaf forests that cover my home state of Pennsylvania. While today many of the native forests have been cleared for either agricultural or other developmental needs, there are a few spots of the state that remain in tact as nature created them. The rays from the Sun provide essential energy for plant-life to create its own food through photosynthesis, which essentially starts any food chain or food web. Trees are not the only form of plant-life in Pennsylvania; there are also different forms of grasses and shrubs that
Cold-blooded animals like reptiles, amphibians, and insects rely on light to warm their bodies. People need light to grow crops, but we also need light to see. People use electricity to light their homes and some use solar power, which converts sunlight to electricity. Nothing travels faster than light. Light travels as a wave.
