In The Year 2097
It was a bright winter morning when I looked out
my apartment window here in Marshall and noticed a lot of pollution
in the air. The main street was full of people as they drove in their
cars and trucks to work. The pollution dimmed the bright sunlight as
it stayed steadily in the air. Until now I hadn't realized how much
Marshall had changed over the past few years.
The city we live in was once a clean little
village but is now populated with over 30 thousand people. The
streets are trashy and the tundra is crowded with houses making for
little space to build things on. Houses stretch clear across the
tundra from valley to valley. Pilcher Mountain now looks small
because of all the hotels, stores, and other huge buildings
there.
My sons and I were going to go moose hunting but
the weather changed dramatically. From snow to slush, then it started
raining hard outside. It was strange because it was in the month of
December. The night before when we watched the weather forecast, they
said that it was going to be that way a lot from here on in because
of global warming.
For the past twenty years now there hasn't been
any moose hunting because of the bad weather in December. And that
affects the Native people because people who don t have jobs in this
city can't get AFDC or foodstamps anymore because the Government cut
off welfare checks and foodstamps back in the late 1900's.
We have seen great changes in the seasons that
have affected many people all over the world. Our concerns about
Global Warming, El Nino, and the Greenhouse Effect are more serious
now. We are the cause of these problems, and they have caused us to
have health problems.
The ozone hole is now open 3/4 of the earth's
size. And more and more people are having skin cancer because of it.
Average temperatures are now 10 degrees higher than normal worldwide.
During our winters we get hardly any snow, and the summers are way
hotter than before. It's also really dry in the spring.
Many years ago we started seeing different fish
species from South America, Africa, and Mexico come up as far as the
Bering Strait. All of our flora and fauna have moved farther north.
And sadly, most of the salmon that used to come up the Yukon River
have now disappeared. That has made it really difficult for us who
have depended on fish for thousands of years.
