In addition, the time-honored habits of fishing and hunting on which their survival depended were the main aspect for the annual change between seasonal camps up and down the Penobscot River valley (pg 6). From “waterways and the well-trodden trails,” Algonquian hunters could look for food with deer, moose, beavers, muskrats, and they could collect clams and lobsters, speared seals, and porpoises. Another important feature of the Penobscot was their mobility because it was needed for the hunting life. Therefore, they organized into many small groups and the men would make the decision according to the change of the weather. The social activities of Algonquians would change on each season, and “the paper birch tree” was the significant
The women also made roofs for the houses by tanning hides and harvested food and preserved it. The children were taught at an early age to take care of themselves and were considered an adult.

They knew the spirits were normally invisible, but they assumed they could transform into forms humans could see. Kwakiutl men went fishing for food, and hunted. The women gathered Clams, Shellfish, Seaweed, Berries, and Roots. Kwakiutl children played, helped out around the house and went to school, like all other children. They had huge Cedar forests near their houses.
While banded together in the winter months, Inuit’s practice healing rituals and ceremonies as a significant part of their social life. During the summer months, the Inuit’s disperse out of the groups and collect berries and roots while small groups of men go out fishing. Having minimal people in a group is a key to having a successful hunt. Two practices that people of different cultures may not agree with that the Inuit culture practices are Infanticide and Geronticide. Infanticide is the practice of killing babies if they are deformed, or if the mother is
The first peoples of the Arctic lived in communities of 50 - 150 people. Their food obtaining methods differed greatly as well. The Paleolithic people were hunters, gatherers and farmers. The people of the great lakes hunted prey in the lakes. The first people of the Arctic, hunted walrus and eat dogs when they went hungry, they also hunter caribou and fish in small groups.
The lake is about 20 miles long and 8 miles wide. Lake levels and size vary because of heavy agricultural use, and in years of drought. The border of Utah and Idaho goes right across the center of the lake. The lake is 250,000 years old and is formed by Fault Subsidence, which continues today making the lake deeper on the East side. Visual of Ecosystem Location: Pictures obtained from (USGS) and (Chpc) 5 biotic (living) components of the Ecosystem * Quaking Aspen * Choke Cherry (Tree) * Moose * Raccoons * Bear Lake Cisco (Fish) Unique to bear lake.
Their destination being one of the thousands of lakes teaming with fish. They also search for caribou, a major resource and food supply.
Many people come to fish out of the lake it also has plenty of other wildlife such as alligator, gar and duck and geese during the right times of the year.

It’s a way of life for them, they have been brought up on this way of life since they were born. “Thomas was not surprised by Victor’s sudden violence.
Where: Alaska's Denali National Park and Preserve. Why: People that it involves need to be informed on the breeding of sled dogs. Topic: Discovery that Grey seals hunt smaller seals and porpoises. Who: This impacts biologist's original theory that grey seals only hunt small fish. What: Grey seals are hunting bigger prey, forensic studies have implicated that grey seals have been killing smaller seals and porpoises, biologist studies of grey seals habitat will change.
