we went to the Cour D' alene Casino to meet Quanah and Dave Matheson. they talked to us about the relationships between the people and the environment. Along with pollution issues within the developing indian countries across the land. dams affecting food, fires burning up the reservation, air pollution, oil spills, coal transportation, and floods/droughts. everything reflects back to climate change, mitigating the affects of it, and dealing with cultural value loss. after talking to the father and son, we went back to camp. Pedro (nickname: Pedg, Pedgy) taught us about trapping of rodents and how they can be a good indicator of how well the other animals are doing. Just like macroinvertabrates can be a good indicator of how safe the water is at a given time. we made traps out of 5 gallon buckets, pcv pipe, wire, sticks and bait. the rodents would go to eat the bait and the pvc pipe would start spinning once the rodent would go the bait placed in the center into the bucket. we went all out for the bait, maybe a little too much because we also got some non-target species such as deer and coyotes. it was a crazy night. the deer ran into camp and trampled some tents. but I slept through the whole thing. our trap ended up having too much onto the sides of the buckets so that allowed the rodents to escape. going to have to reset them later.
