...The Great Plains are the broad expanse of prairie and steppe which lie west of the Mississippi River and east of the Rocky Mountains in the United States and Canada. This area covers parts of the U.S. states of Colorado, Kansas, Montana, Nebraska, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Texas and Wyoming, and the Canadian provinces of Alberta, Manitoba and Saskatchewan, and into Mexico. In Canada the term prairie is more common, and the region is known as the Prairie Provinces or simply "the Prairies." Read full entry

How did many Great Plains I'm writing an essay about the
Great Plains and the Dust Bowl
and there are three questions
that make up this essay. This
one is the last one, but I
can't seem to find an answer
anywhere. Not in my text book,
not online, and none of my
peers seem to have figured it
either. If anyone has a basic
answer, that'd be great
because I have absolutely
nothing to go on. Thanks -
Aidan

They were hunters, so they had to follow their food. Their food moved around, with the seasons. Sorry to tell you the other factors you mentioned mean little: Drought had little to do with this, as their prey migrated seasonally no matter the weather, warfare was practically non-existent, the horse made hunting easier - but had little other effect, lack of wood was not a factor...You'd just be moving from one place with no trees to another. (Probably, their main source of fuel would have been grass, hay, or dung.) |

What would be an option to The Great Plains states have
seen rapid numbers of youth
leaving the rural areas for
the cities and especially the
western high plains. Many
towns are disappearing and
what could be considered a
culture is dying. What could
be done to vitalize this area
considering tourism, ranching,
the idea of the Buffalo
Commons or other ideas?
Serious, non-childish answers
please.

This brings to light an interesting predicament. Larger cities and metro areas have so high of a cost of living that people working there can not afford to live there. Rural areas where they could afford don’t hold the jobs with the wages or the allure to keep them. Sounds like some sort of a work program might be in order. I once meet an Electrical Engineer on a plane from San Jose to Salt Lake. He was an EE 4x12 in the SF bay area then kept up the family cattle ranch the other 3 days a week. I think if more people could do something like that, the tide might turn. Folks in the SF bay area are paying top dollar for housing. If they just knew that they could raise a family in a small town in the Great Plains, make a decent living wage, and spend weekends away from the rat race. The other option is to attract telecommuters. The idea is not new. But in large parts of the country a person who works from home is viewed with suspicion or as somewhat of a leech on society. We need to change that attitude. Bring distance learning to the schools and distant teachers originating from rural locations rather than just the big cities. OK so much for my soap box. |
