Informational, PersuasiveWritingWho are the Houma people? The Houma people are a historic Native American tribe located at the east side of the Red River of the South. They deserve a monument because they are fighting against global warming and coastal erosion. The city of Houma and the Red River are both named after these people. They are losing their land, and because they are losing their land they are losing their culture and their identity. It makes them feel very sad. They’ve been trying to find a new island. The Houma Nation has been a recognized state tribe since 1972. The Houma Nation are very smart. You should try to help the Houma Nation. These are some of the reasons why the Houma Nation deserves a monument.
