Today, I learned alliance and bay's means; why Champlain wanted to alliance with Hurons; how to flighted about Champlain and his Huron allies and Iroquois; the Hurons had many economic advantages because of their geographic location and territory. They were located on the southern shore of Georgian Bay, where the fishing was excellent and looked the map to find where is bay and beautiful view with Bay and Canada. I also knew The Hurons were a group of First Nations people who were in an alliance with Champlain. They were closely related to the Iroquois, but had become their enemies. In sum, these were learned by me today.

The Lonely Land
A.J.M. Smith
A.J.M. Smith
Cedar and jagged fir
uplift sharp barbs
against the gray
and cloud-piled sky;
and in the bay
blown spume and windrift
and thin, bitter spray
snap
at the whirling sky;
and the pine trees
lean one way.
A wild duck calls
to her mate,
and ragged
and passionate tones
stagger and fall,
and recover,
and stagger and fall,
on these stones -
are lost
in the lapping of water
on smooth, flat stones.
This is a beauty
of dissonance,
this resonance
of stony strand,
this smoky cry
curled over a black pine
like a broken
and wind-battered branch
when the wind
bends the tops of the pine
like a broken
and wind-battered branch
when the wind
bends the tops of the pines
and curdles the sky
from the north.
This is the beauty
of strength
broken by strength
and still strong

In this picture, the Hurons and the Iroquois are fighting, and Champlain is standing between them.

I can still feel the intense from the picture, but because of the picture is not cruel so i think this picture is not really a realistic image of the situation. IT maybe liked the old Chinese war.
