Imagine, somewhere someone in Alaska discovered a group of people living as they did for hundreds of years. What do we do? What should we do about them? Rescue? Whats our obligation, what do you want to happen? Write as though it just happened today (01-28-09).
A group of people are discovered. What do we do? What do I do? I would want them to be left alone. Their culture could strive, as the way it obviously has. No outside disruption. I'm pretty sure they would have discovered us, too, but they chose not to make contact with us, which probably means they don't want anything to do with us. But, if they were in trouble, how could we help them with trouble already happening all over Alaska now? How could we help them without having the money, the resources, and with everyone already having money problems they have now? They're already striving with their culture, maybe they could teach us. First, we'd have to get their trust. Make sure it's okay. Get just a avery select few to talk with them. And those who make contact with them would have to be similar to their culture and the way they speak. Ask if they need help, if not, give them a card to get in contact with you when they do (just being sarcastic). If they don't need help, leave them (that is if they want to be left). But, NO media! Then, it'd kind of be ruined, they'll be like every culture in Alaska now. Culture receeding, storied forgotten, and language gone.

Fastwrite-Mt. ReDoubt!
Tell the story, not in terms of science. Explain the story of was is going on with the volcanoe, if you knew nothing about volcanoes. Kind of like the story of the Sleeping Lady.
I hear this rumbling...the sky gets darker later that day. I'm wondering all to myself, what is going on? Everyone is in a frantic, running around, yelling, running away. Maybe the place we stand in is falling. Mother nature made a deal with us, saying, if we keep her clean, i'll give you a place to stay, food to eat, and warmth. No one was apparently listening, and no one obviously hasn't listened to her. It sounds as though she's angry, yelling, shouting out "How could you?!" You could feel her anger, her heat raging, pouring out bright colors.
I start leaving our hometown. We all reach the other mountains, opposite of the rumbling. We get towards the top, just in time. Our village in flames, a sea of bright red has swallowed it. You could see mother natures tears pouring out of that tall beautiful mountain.
We gathered and talked about it. What was happening? In the back, someone said quietly, "she's angry." Never again we doubted mother nature. We moved to a place that was later called Anchorage, and named nature's angry mountain, Mt. Redoubt.
