The Ojibwe people believe it is important to take care of Ah-ki, the Earth, as mother and giver-of-life. Ah-ki provides food, water, and shelter. For this, she is honored and respected. In turn, inhabitants must take care of Ah-ki. Take only what is needed, and, keep Ah-ki clean and healthy-especially the
water, which is said to be her life-blood. We all must "Ganawenim Omizakamigokwe"... take care of Mother Earth.
A warming climate impacts the hydrosphere, geosphere, biosphere, and atmosphere. Which of these shows evidence of the impact of a warming climate on
Ah-ki, the Earth?
Sugarbush, or maple syrup production has reportedly been running earlier in the spring and then stopping.
Dams are being built at flow points of the ditches to keep water levels stable.
Extreme storms are affecting wild rice production
Warming trends are raising the temperature of the ground fed streams impacting trout populations.
Trust lands are being deforested for lumber money,
Minnesota's typical spring fire season could be shortened by as much as four weeks.

colorectal cancer may also develop from areas of abnormal cells in the lining of the colon or rectum. this area of abnormal cells is called dysplasia and is more commonly seen in people with certain inflammatory diseases of the bowel such as crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis.

scattering of light by tiny particles in air to produce the colors we see on sky, is dependent on the following factors:

(i) wavelength of light

(ii) size of the scattering particle  

(iii) distance traveled by light through the atmosphere.

according to rayleigh's law of scattering, the amount of scattering is inversely proportional to the fourth power of its wavelength. shorter the wavelength, greater is its scattering. hence violet/blue light is scattered more than red.

sun's light is a composite light ( visible light) with wavelengths in the range 400 nm (violet) to 700 nm (red). as sunlight passes through our atmosphere, the molecules of air scatter light according to their wavelengths. during sunrise and sunset, the sun's position is below the horizon. hence light from the sun travels a greater distance in the atmosphere when compared to its position a noon.

as sunlight enters the earth's atmosphere, blue light is scattered away and at the end of its journey in the sky, only red and orange wavelengths remain in the beam.

hence at sunrise and sunset, the sky appears reddish orange.
