Texas Indians In the Great Plains and Mountain Basin Regions Work Edited by: Kobe Jones and Keaton Kirk. The main Indian tribes that lived in the Great Plains and Mountain Basin region were the Tigua, Comanche, Apache, Kiowa, and Jumano.

The Humboldt River that used to be full of water year round has dropped dramatically to the point it is almost completely dry for the past few years.

One of the biggest conflicts between the settlers and Indians in Nevada was the Pyramid Lake Indian war of 1860. The war and deaths that followed was a result of tension, ignorance, anti-Indian attitude and misunderstanding. The war was preceded by violent incidents against both the whites and Indians and consisted of two larger battles. The Washoe and Paiute tribe’s lives changed with the influx of settlers that came with the Comstock mining rush. Nevada being a desert had limited resources and

dry, and sandy area like the Sahara Desert. The Great Basin Desert is different because it is a cold desert. A cold desert is completely different from the typical desert with average temperatures of 55-57 degrees Fahrenheit in summer, and in winter it averages around 4 degrees Fahrenheit. Cold deserts will normally have much more water. Water is the lifeline of The Great Basin Desert (Pellant), which is a good thing and a bad thing.

cons of life in the Great Basin culture. The Great Basin is almost all of Utah and Nevada. The region is named Great Basin because the surrounding mountains create a bowl shaped landscape that prevents water from flowing out.

Game animals are scarce as well. The tools Great Basin Indians used for hunting

What is Social Justice? Social justice is considered to be justice in terms of the distribution of wealth, opportunities, and privileges within a society. In the early 1800s slavery was very prominent in America. There was such a divide between African Americans and Europeans.

The act of planting traps on public lands causes a great divide between both sides of the argument. Two groups that are fierce opponents of public lands being used for trapping are Footloose Montana

The Raton Basin is a structural basin situated in Las Animas and Huerfano counties of southeastern Colorado, and Colfax County of northeastern New Mexico (Speer, 1976). Although millions of years ago the Raton Basin was much different than the present. Colorado and New Mexico were covered by large shallow seas (Murray, 1978). The Basin is bounded on the west by the Sangre de Cristo Mountain range and on the east by two subsurface elements, the Apishapa Arch and the Sierra Grande Uplift. The Apishapa
