American Indians in Wyoming
 Did you know the name "Wyoming"
comes from a Algonquian Indian word?
It is an English corruption of the Lenape
word Chwewamink, which means "by
the big river flat." The Lenape never
lived in the area that is now Wyoming,
however... the state's name was
borrowed from a placename in
Pennsylvania
American Indians in Wyoming
There are two federally recognized
Indian tribes in Wyoming today.
Wyoming's Shoshone and Arapaho tribes
share a single Indian reservation:
 BASIN
is a landform shaped like a giant bowl.
It has high sides all around.
 GLACIER
Is a huge field of ice and snow. Even in
summer the mountain is cover with
snow.
 CANYONS
A narrow valley formed after hundreds
of thousands of years.

notebook
 Isabella Bird
 "I have dropped into the very place I have been
seeking, but in everything it exceeds all my
dreams... The scenery is the most glorious I have
ever seen, and is above us, around us, at every
door." - Isabella Bird, A Lady's Life in the Rocky
Mountains

 "Every community should have a place in

which the people may spend their leisure
time, where they will be brought in direct
contact with things of beauty and interest in
the outdoor world." - Mrs. Sherman at the
National Park Conference in Berkeley, CA -

Glacial geology in Rocky
Mountain National Park
 Glacial geology in Rocky Mountain
National Park can be seen from the
tops of the peaks to the bottom of the
valleys.

 As glaciers move, they pick up rocks,

gravel and sand.
Subalpine Ecosystem
A maze of evergreen trees covers the
mountainsides in subalpine areas. Hidden
among the trees are crystal clear lakes
and fields of wildflowers that may surprise
you. The subalpine ecosystem occupies
elevations just below tree-line between
9,000 and 11,000 feet.
Alpine Tundra Ecosystem
Starts between elevations of 11,000 to
11,500 feet, depending on exposure. This
is truly a land of extremes. Strong, frequent
winds and cold temperatures help limit
what plants can grow there. Most alpine
plants are perennials. Many plants are
dwarfed, but their few blossoms may be
full-sized.
The Montane ecosystem
Has the richest diversity of plant and
animal life. Meandering rivers and open
meadows are surrounded by hilly slopes.
Wildflowers blanket the meadows
throughout the summer growing season.

present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God,
which is your spiritual worship.[b] 2 Do not beconformed to this
world,[c] but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing
you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable
and perfect.
 The first word to note in this profound
passage of Scripture is the
word therefore. Therefore connotes a
response. In 11:36, Paul has concluded
a statement of praise exclaiming that it
is through God and God alone that all
