The Bad Lands By GRIFFIN Bailey 1st Grade Harvey Clarke Elementary 5/25/01
Info • You will find the Bad Lands in South Dakota • The Bad Lands wilderness is 64,000 acres • Scientists have found a three toed horse skeleton, and saber- toothed tiger and a ton of other stuff • Many animals live here today including Prairie dogs, coyotes Jackrabbits and black-footed ferrets. • It looks like brain tissue
The Geography • The water and the wind made the land look very bad, so people called it the bad lands because it was already a land and it definitely looked bad.
Native Americans • Were the first people to live at the bad Lands • They were there for 11,000 years • The US government forced them to go live on a reservation. • They were mad and came up with a plan. • They wore ghost shirts that they thought would protect them from dying from bullets. • They did a ghost dance • Then they went in a war at Wounded Knee and the ghost shirts didn’t protect them from the bullets. • Now Native Americans live near the Bad Lands at Pine Ridge reservation.
Animals • My favorite animal that lives here today is a black-footed ferret • My favorite animal that used to live here is the saber toothed tiger • A buffalo and a Bison don’t have the same name but they are the same creature.
The Cool Part • The cool part about the Bad lands is that it has gold and clay and ash • The saddest thing is that the Native Americans used to live there and now they are forced to live somewhere else.
