Answer to Question 1

Both lumbering and fishing are threatened by overharvesting. Salmon in particular require streams to spawn in and many rivers are now dammed, cutting off salmon from their spawning streams. Farmers are threatened by population growth and urban sprawl.

Answer to Question 2

Willamette Valley: grapes, hops, peas, potatoes, hay, and vegetables
Few crops are grown in the Frasier Valley as the land is too rugged, cold, and rainy for commercial farming.
Palouse: wheat, apples, and pears

Answer to Question 3

Student should know that the Russian Old Believers left their homeland in the 1600s in search of religious freedom. First they travelled to Siberia, and then about 300 years later they left Russia altogether for China because of the Soviet's persecution of religious groups. When China became communist in the late 1940s, the Old Believers left and travelled to Brazil where they had been promised free land. However, because of the hot climate and political instability they left South America for Oregon. One small group left Oregon for Alaska after their children came into contact with gangs and drugs in a Woodburn park.
