I decided to look up information on the Taiga tribe. I found out that it is not an actual Indian Tribe. Taiga is the Russian word for forest. The average temperature is below zero for most of the year. It is located in Northern Europe and North America. There are lots of pine trees and lots of bugs in the summer. You can find bears, wolverines, badgers, deer, wolves, scorpions, weasels, muskrats, and oxen in the Taiga wilderness. I promise to come back later and write some more about Taiga in the near future.

I also wrote on this. Here's the link to my blog entry: http://kellyswindow.blogspot.com/2009/04/taiga-tribe-its-not-real.html
ReplyDeleteThat is really interesting that Taiga is a Russian word for forest. I am sure that the author had reasoning behind the specific naming of the tribe. Thanks for the additional info!
