At first, the Algonquian Region was an oasis for its Native American’s who inhabited the land. Thousands upon thousands of Mohegan Indians, Agawam Indians, Chappaquiddick Indians, Pequot Indians, and even the Naragansett neighbored and collectively made up the Wampanog Indians.

They established order for
Basketball is a popular sport that millions of people play around the world but does everyone know how basketball started and how it evolved throughout history? “Many people do not know that basketball was around since the early 1890s. In 1891, James Naismith, a Canadian-American sports teacher invented this simple sport”(Livestrong.com). Certainly the rules and the style of play wasn’t similar as today’s game. When it was first played in the early ages, there were more carrying the ball and tackling
Matt Groening is very smart, hard working and argumentatively one of the best comedic animation masterminds of all time. As you may know, he has created the longest running US animated T.V. series ‘The Simpsons’. They first aired on the ‘Tracy Ullman Show’on April 19, 1989. I think Groening has done a lot for the world of adult animation comedy or even animation all together. Spawning a lot of new shows like ‘Family Guy’ probably from ‘The Simpsons’ show although Groening is only one man, getting

I always passed by it on the freeway feeling curious as to what it was about. There was a big sign in front of the place that had huge red letters reading “Bass Pro Shop”, with a yellow background and a big fish. What stood out to me every time I saw it, was right under the store sign was an even bigger sign that read in huge letters “Outdoor World.” Every time I passed by, there was always a multitude of cars in the parking lot, which made me assume it was probably a cool place to go to visit, so

As I watched this documentary in and out of class, I was able to pick out the most interesting part presented as well as discovering new perspectives about Abraham Lincoln. This documentary provides insights from many individuals that Professor Henry Louis Gates encountered in search of the truth and Lincoln himself. One interesting idea presented by Professor Gates was the fact that Abraham Lincoln was not god, but a human. He has human characteristics therefore establishing that he too was not
The Original Rules of Basketball In the documentary, “30 for 30: There’s No Place Like Home”, there is a very debatable subject. The documentary was created by Josh Swade who is an intense KU fan. He had a quest to obtain James Naismith’s original rules of basketball and bring them back to Kansas University. In the end, he completed his mission. This was the disputable topic that while many people thought it was unworthy, others thought it was honorable. Nevertheless, this historic document does
Early History of West Springfield In 1774, as the citizens of the thirteen colonies thought about declaring their independence from their mother country, England, the people of West Springfield were celebrating their independence from their mother town of Springfield. They requested incorporation of their town from the General Court for two reasons: a growing discontent with the representation that Springfield chose to send to the General Court and with the difficulties of geography.

Alfred Stieglitz and Gallery 291 A Modern Art Revolution Before the Armory Show “Quite a few years ago…there got to be—a place…. The place grew—the place shifted…the place was where this man was…. —Shift—is something that cannot be tied—cannot be pigeonholed. It jumps—it bounds—it glides —it SHIFTS— it must have freedom…. It seems those who do that worth the doing are possessed of good eyes—alive eyes—warm eyes— it seems they radiate a fire within outward. The places they inhabit

The Armory Show, a major turning point in American art, for example, was inspired by shifting perceptions of the aesthetic and a stirring toward modernity.

A symbolist of the late 1800’s, the abstracted works of Odilon Redon contain a sense of mystery and somberness that accentuate the connections they have to their traditionally darker themes. A “prince of dreams” and a “creator of nightmares,” Redon’s later works have been known for their expressive, whimsical colors and unique abstract style. The Cyclops (circa 1898), a painting from Redon’s later works, is a prime example of such skilled crafting and in a way was the stepping stone towards his
of the intriguing building: The 69th Regiment Armory. The Armory proved to be a more intriguing building than I had ever imagined. The Armory is an active training facility. However, The Armory doesn’t simply house the 165th infantry, rather adds culture to New York City. One may ask, how can a historical landmark (Murray) in which armies train prove to be cultural? We will embark on a journey to discover the second, lesser-known aspect, of the armory. 1906. Richard and Joseph Hunt completed their
During the years of 1675 and 1676 the North American colonies experienced conflicts that shaped the dynamics of their colonial life. King Phillip's War would effectively end relations between the New England colonists and the Indians. Also, the rebellion in Virginia led by Nathaniel Bacon stressed the growing discontent of poor frontier farmers for British rule. The consequences of these two events clearly had an impact on different levels that would extend well beyond their time. Therefore,
The lives of everyone in the town of Springfield Oregon changed on May 21st of 1998. A quiet boy named Kip Kinkel became known as “The Killer at Thurston High” after killing both of his parents, murdering two classmates, and severely injuring 24 others. There are many factors in the 15 year old boy’s life that led up to the horrific events that occurred on that day. The same factors that influenced the tragedy in occurring could have very easily insured that it never happened to begin with. On
