Family Heritage
By- Amelia Kirt
Intro
This presentation is about my family heritage and about the Northern Lights Chpt. 12 and how immigrants came to the U.S.
Dads heritage
- Going to their cabin was really fun for my dad because he got to be free and go anywhere to fish
- Loved going out onto the lake because he loved fishing when he was younger
- Parents let him go to town on his bike. He loved this because like I said he likes being freed from his parents
Chpt. 12 heritage
- build house, because when they came they would need to live somewhere
- Women would work for laundry mills to make money for a living
- Labor was short so kids at 12 were made to work because of the shortage of workers
