Volume 2, Edition 4 Biniʼantʼąą́ tsoh́ (September) 2019 Page 2 Amazon Rainforest is on Fire By: Charles Follosco The Amazon is the world’s largest rainforest and home to millions of species. The Amaz- on rainforest is also known as the “Lungs of the planet,” because it alone gives more than 20% of our oxygen in the world. It is very important for us to care for our planet’s “lungs” which are choking right now. Farmers have used small fires to clear tiny sections of rainforest for generations, and for the past decade regulations actually reduced the Photo by: Geospatial world number of fires. But industrial logging, fragmentation, and agricultural activities have changed since Brazil’s President Jair Bolsonaro reduced regulations and rules protecting the Amazon. These fires in the Amazon rainforest have the highest record since 2013 and it’s up by 85% from last year alone. There are so many fires that are burning that the smoke can be seen from outer space. Each one of us have the same questions which are: what caused this and how will it affect our planet? There are actually two sides about what caused the Amazon fire. First, Brazil’s environmental minister, Ricardo Salles, posted on Twitter that it was caused by dry weather, wind, and heat. However, CNN meteorologist Haley Brink said the fires are “definitely human-induced [made].” The dry season could be the reason why the fire spread so quickly throughout much of the Amazon rainforest. But the start of the fire seems to be the result of humans; either they did it on purpose or by accident. Everyone here on planet Earth benefits from the health of the Amazon. Amazon trees take carbon dioxide and release oxygen. The Amazon rainforest has a huge role to play on Earth which is to pull planet-warming greenhouse gases. Bolsonaro is trying to kill the fire by deploying the military to help fight the fires. He sent 44,000 troops into 6 countries. All firefighters in different countries are teaming up to kill the fires. All of us should protect our Mother Earth by recycling, saving water, and planting more trees. Let’s love our Mother Earth, or else it will not last long. Nicki Minaj Retires By: Frances Apachito The rapper and singer Onika Tanya Maraj (born December 8, 1982), known professionally as Nicki Minaj, has tweeted that she has made the decision to retire and ‘have my family.’ Nicki nodded to her followers saying, “ Keep reppin’ me. Do it ‘til da death of me.” Many rappers responded to Nicki’s retirement. They seem not too happy about it. American rapper/singer 50 Cent seemed genuinely sympathetic towards her retire- ment. He also said she reached a certain level of success and lastly added, “I don’t want Nicki to retire; just take a break.” Nicki Minaj may have once had “Barbie Dreams” but now it’s time for her to set sights on something else. Another American rapper Bhad Bhabie talks badly about Nicki’s retirement and calls her “salty.” Before giving her assessment of Nicki’s retirement, she said, “Me and Cardi got y’all,” but also included that we have to give Nicki props. She suggested that Nicki didn’t write her own bars and is continuing to criticize the Administration “Barbie Dream” rapper. Although many people aren’t happy with Frank Curley, Interim Chief Executive her retirement, many other Tweeters wished Nicki good luck in life. They also added that Nicki will still be their favorite American Director rapper/singer/songwriter. There’s always a time in life where Susan Comiskey, Principal/Superintendent you decide to do something different and for the better. Barbara Gordon, Counselor As fans of Nicki, we should be happy with her decision and hope Victor Werner, Dean of Students life will treat her right with her and her fiancé. Especially if they plan to start a family soon.

They’ve been profiting off of Native American cultural imagery. They had worked with the actor Johnny Depp. The campaign featured him for Dior’s “Sauvage” fragrance. The brand tweeted that the campaign is “An authentic journey deep into the Native American soul in a sacred, founding, and secular territory.” Three Johnny Depp with a bottle of Sauvage cologne. years ago, the brand faced backlash during another campaign with Johnny Depp for “Sauvage” after Depp was accused for domestic violence by his ex-wife Amber Heard. Dior started posting sneak-peeks on videos and photos before the film was released. The film was released on September 1st. Soon after, the company began receiving criticism on Twitter and Facebook. CNBC asked for comments and Dior sent a press release from a non-profit group called the Americans for Indian Opportunities (AIO). They refer to themselves as a group who supports the rights for indigenous peoples. They made a music video for the fragrance and it provides advice on Native American imagery. Johnny Depp provided a statement for the release of the fragrance. Depp said, “There was need for authenticity and respect for the land and the nations that allowed us to shoot there. From the choice of locations, wardrobe making, right down to casting and set designs, AIO was involved.” Dior did not provide a statement responding to the criticism of the campaign. In my opinion, I’m undecided how to feel about this. They had some real Native Americans on the set of the ad and they thought that it was okay. Personally, I wouldn’t buy expensive cologne. The French word “Sauvage” means a person who is considered to be “unmannered or rude.” The Native American people are upset with the word “Sauvage.” The people feel that the word is offensive because people use to call Natives “savages.” They shouldn’t call it “Sauvage;” they could have called it any other name.
