<span>Other names for the Canadian Shield include the Precambrian Shield and the Laurentian Plateau. It is made of primarily of granite and covers 1.7 million square miles. In addition to granite, it contains deposits of iron, gold, silver, uranium, platinum, nickel and copper. Diamonds are also found in the Canadian Shield and are mined in Canada's Northwest Territories. Some of the world's oldest-known fossils lie in the Canadian Shield; fossil bacteria and algae in the region date back about 2.2 billion years. Four mountain ranges rise from the Canadian Shield: the Adirondack Mountains and Superior Highlands in the United States and the Laurentian and Torngat Mountains in Canada. The current topography of the Canadian Shield dates back to the movement of glaciers during the most recent ice age, and it varies from 1,000 to 5,000 feet above sea level. The highest points of the Canadian Shield are on Baffin Island and in northern Labrador.</span>

The sky tree
MAXImum [283]

Answer:

1.  To her Husband, Aataentsic's actions were heroic because she risked everything to save his life.

To the people of Sky Land, she may be considered a villian worthy of the worst punishment. She jeopardised the source of sustenance of the entire Sky Land for one man - her husband.

2. According to the story, the Sky Tree is a great tree which could be found in the middle of the Sky Land.

The Sky Tree is important to the people of Sky Land because all the food they ate came from it.

3. Aataentsic chose to cut down the tree because in the dream she had about her sick husband, her husband had instructed her to cut the tree and give him the fruit which grows at it's very top. This is the only way he would be healed.

This action reveals that she was very fond of her husband and would have given anything to see him live.

4. The animal which observed  Aataentsic's fall is a Turtle.

The Turtle spearheaded the rescue mission which saved  Aataentsic's life and the tree by helping her land safely on its back which with the help of the other animals was not covered with earth.

5. Animals in our culture mean many things to many people. To some, animals are food. To some, they have life and deserve to be preserved and treated with kindness. Biologically speaking, however, animals form an important part of our ecosystem. Unlike the myth, animals in real life are incapable of executing such an organised rescue mission.

Cheers
