THANKS CONNEXUS KID I GOT 5/5
The Arctic Ocean has experienced a dramatic decrease in sea ice extent over the past 40 years due to climate change. The average sea ice extent in September, the month of the year with the lowest sea ice extent, has decreased by 13.3% per decade since 1979. This has resulted in a decrease of the total sea ice area by 40%.

Starfish are actually not fish at all. Because they do not have spines, or backbones, they belong to a category of species called invertebrates. Most starfish have spiny skin and five arms around a disk-like body. Their arms have tiny suckers that allow them to move slowly across the ocean floor. Starfish like to dine on clams, oysters, and snails. There are about 1,600 different species of starfish living in our oceans. One species, known as the leather star, lives on the West Coast of North America and can be found in depths of 300 feet. This type tries to avoid its predator, the morning sun star.

Cherokee Indian Ancestry
US Dept. of the Interior
1 About 200 years ago the Cherokee Indians were one tribe, or "Indian Nation" that lived in the southeast part of what is now the United States. During the 1830's and 1840's, the period covered by the Indian Removal Act, (1) many Cherokees were moved west to a territory that is now the State of Oklahoma. A number remained in the southeast and gathered in North Carolina where they purchased land and continued to live. (2) Others went into the Appalachian Mountains to escape being moved west and many of their descendants may still live there now.
2 Today, individuals of Cherokee ancestry fall into the following categories:
(1) Living persons who were listed on the final rolls of the Cherokee Nation of Oklahoma (Dawes Commission Rolls) that were approved and descendants of these persons. These final rolls were established in 1907
(2) Individuals enrolled as members of the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians of North Carolina and descendants who are eligible for enrollment with the Band.
(3) Persons on the list of members identified by a resolution dated April 19, 1949, and certified by Superintendent of the Five Civilized Tribes Agency and their descendants who are eligible for enrollment with the United Keetoowah Band of Cherokee Indian of Oklahoma.
(4) All other persons of Cherokee Indian ancestry.
Category 1
3 After about a half century of self-government, a law enacted in 1906 directed that final rolls be made and that each enrollee be given an allotment of land or paid cash in lieu of an allotment. The Cherokees formally organized in 1975 with the adoption of a new Constitution that superseded the 1839 Cherokee Nation Constitution. This new Constitution establishes a Cherokee Register for the inclusion of any Cherokee for membership purposes in the Cherokee Nation. Members must be citizens as proven by reference to the Dawes Commission Rolls. Included in this are the Delaware Cherokees of Article II of the Delaware Agreement dated May 8, 1867, and the Shawnee Cherokees of Article III of the Shawnee Agreement dated June 9, 1869, and/or their descendants.

Pursuant to P.L. 100-472 the Cherokee Nation of Oklahoma has entered into a Self-governance Compact and now provides those services previously provided by the BIA.

6 By the Act of August 10, 1946, 60 Stat. 976, Congress recognized the United Keetoowah Band of Cherokee Indians in Oklahoma (UKB) for the purposes of organizing under the Oklahoma Indian Welfare Act.

Members of the UKB consist of all persons whose names appear on the list of members identified by a resolution dated April 19, 1949, and certified by the Superintendent of the Five Civilized Tribes Agency on November 26, 1949, with the governing body of the UKB having the power to prescribe rules and regulations governing future membership.

I apologize for the misunderstanding. The main idea of the first paragraph is that about 200 years ago, the Cherokee Indians were one tribe that lived in the southeast part of what is now the United States, but due to the Indian Removal Act, many were moved west to the territory that is now Oklahoma, while others remained in the southeast or went into the Appalachian Mountains to escape relocation.

Just Like My Dad
Tracy Wilson
1John took off his helmet, turnout gear, and boots in the truck room and hung the jacket on his assigned peg. Just above the peg was a handmade label that read, .’ John still felt a sudden surge of pride every time he looked at the label. His father would be proud too, he reminded himself. After 32 years and a couple million fires, his father still had the passion for it in his blood until the end.
2It was still an hour before dinner, so John washed up and settled down in the old worn chair beside the phone to do what he always did after returning from a fire call. He dialed each digit and then waited.
3"Hullo" a tiny voice finally answered. John was happy to hear the sound of the voice he had heard only in his head for the past two hours. "Daddy, have you been on a fire?" the inquisitive child asked.
4"As a matter of fact, I have son." John returned.
5"Wow Dad, I can’t wait until I get big, so I can fight fires too."
6"I know, Son."
