In this article, Marjory Stoneman Douglas is trying to make the point that there is no place that one can point and say “man began there.” The author goes on to discuss how the Indian came to Florida. It is no secret that the Americans pretty much took over this state and didn’t leave the Indians with very much. This article is just really explaining how the Indians and other people made their way to Florida and the Everglades. The most fascinating thing about this article is when it is written “But if the animals came and became extinct, as the Everglades took shape out of the receding waters, it is certain that no animal life could compare with the wealth of the fish life about the newer coast.” These days, our marine life is decreasing due to overfishing and the growing population. With the video we watched in class about the bluefin tuna, I think it is very possible that a lot of the fish will be deceased or extinct as Marjory Stoneman Douglas says. It is up to us to fix this population. It is also talked about the turtles. Well, the turtles always have to worry about higher end animals eating their eggs. This is why not many sea turtles survive after they’re born. What I learned from this article is that we have to take care of our land. This is also the responsibility of the Indians who are being talked about with the various places they landed.
