1.  Native Alaskans should accept changes in their culture in order to survive.
2.  Changes in walrus migration patterns is the primary reason why Native Alaskans have not been able to bring food to the table.
3.  Walrus should be removed from the MMPA.  This would allow larger, more efficient companies to harvest walrus to sell to the Native Alaskans.
4.  Natural resource companies (gold, copper, silver mines and oil drillers) should allow Native Alaskans to hunt on their land.
5.  The United States government should continue to subsidize Native Alaskans with eggs, milk, bread, etc.
6.  The MMPA should be amended to allow Native Alaskans to hunt non-traditionally with larger ships and more conventional harpoons.
 
Group 7 - Role-play a Native Alaskan child (~9-11 years old) where do you see yourself in 10 years?

We introduced the final unit before the students break off into the final group project presentation.  The final unit is on Walrus Migration Patterns.  Students were introduced to the plight of Native Alaskans who depend on walrus for survival.  Since the implementation of the Marine Mammal Protection Act in 1972, Native Alaskans have seen the number of walrus harvested every year go down.  What is the reason for this? Is global warming the cause of this issue?  
 
Reminder: Socratic Seminar on Thu. 5/11
HW: Please read the Close Read on Walrus Migration Patterns and annotate the article.  Be prepared for Tell Me a Story on Monday 5/15.
