For my final paper, I’d like to focus my research on the people that surround mountains and their perspectives on such mountains. How do they view a mountain? Do they pray to the mountains and treat them with respect? Do they feel that mountains are females or males and why? Do they feel that a mountain in a sense provides for their homes or make life difficult? I don’t want to focus on one specific mountain but I’d like to focus on Native Americans and the Black Hills and perhaps Mount Everest and the ethnic group that has been native to that mountain.
