Our Totem Pole Write-Up

Our group name means that since some mountains have life on them, we typically are the life on them. The number 5 in 515 means the 5 people that are in this group that helped to make this project successful and made it work better than having only one person working on it. The number 1 means that we as a whole world are one generations no matter what the boundary lines on the maps and atlases may say. The last 5 means that at least everyone has 5 parts of thinking logically: thought, question, answer, logic, and conclusion. The lives part of our name means that we are all alive and well as a whole.

The first part of the totem pole represents Christianity. Christianity is an important part of life to me because in my religion, we believe that God made us and gave us the things that we want, have, and need to survive. After Jesus was born, as we believe, he died for our sins when he was possibly 21 years of age.

The elements on the totem pole are important because most of the elements that are on the totem pole are important to us because they help us keep us alive. If we didn’t have the elements of water, we would be really dehydrated. If we didn’t have the element of land then we wouldn’t have fertilizer to help us grow the plants with apples, oranges, broccoli, carrots, etc. to keep us from being hungry. If we didn’t have the element of air or breeze we wouldn’t be able to breathe the oxygen that the plants give us to survive.

The mountains on our totem pole represent life in the most unexpected places. Have you ever noticed that sometimes, people may live in places that you think that no one would ever live in? Like the Earth, mountains have life. Some people that hike up some mountains may stop to stay there for a while after a long day of hiking. People could live in the mountains if they just wanted to.

The colors of our totem pole represent the rainbow that the rain has stopped and that you should be happy about it. The eyes shown with glints of light with stars inside of them mean that we are stars in the eyes of people. The eyes also represent that you are being watched by everyone.

In conclusion, this is our totem pole. This was made by our group, Mountains of 515 lives.

The campsite normally had animals around it, and the Native Americans would go around and hunt the animals to cook and eat. They would go canoeing and catch fish as well.
This is what we came up with for that:

In our classroom, we made habitats to represent what our tribes lived in. Our tribe did the largehouse. It is also known as the plank house. Here is an image of what we came up with:


This is a small area of the village that the people of the largehouse (aka plank house) lived in. There is a man canoeing and a man walking down the path.
