BLOG 7...DAY At The Museum

Holy crap that day was preety interesting due to the fact that ive never seen such a huge freaking tree stump in my life before!! The Mark Twain Tree in Ca. grows so freaking big..they are often referred to "giant trees" and wow to the people who did not go..you really missed an incredible sight!!

(I was pretty surprised to find out we werent going as a group however) LOL We all seperated

I learned that a clan named the Heta was actually extinct after settlers took over thier lands and destroyed thier rain forest envioronment. The clan was originated in brazil and cannot be delared a human society living today.

The indeginous renan of sarawaks have thier rainforest being destroyed and logged away. Only 100 of the people remain and are declared as hunters. however with no animals presnt thier purpose and way of living is being threatened. They are often arrested for trespassing on thier own lands! thats messed up!!!

Their were alot of material used in the museum that was also found in al gore's inconvieniet truth. i found it horrible to find out just how much destruction human way of life is to this world.

I had a good time and got to make new friends in the visit..hopefully some change will come of these issues

The way the exhibits were shown reminded me of the same format Al Gore used in An Inconvenient Truth.
Very well done clear and concise.
