Today my group finished their presentation on Christopher Columbus and for the rest of the period we listened to Mr. Schick's. As always, our class is hilarious and it makes everything ten times easily to learn because I enjoy the class and I want to be there. Yesterday, I forgot to bring my book at home and I needed to request permission to look at the slides, but I remembered to bring it today so I am going to put all of my notes as a lesson learned from our last test.
Native Americans:
found DNA of the modern day Asian heritage 14,300 years old
place of arrival- North America, pacific coastline
-east on Rocky Mountains
Indo-Europeans > migrating
How they got there- from russia, crossed land bridge (Beringian Straight) into Alaska
Were they first? Yes, reason they are called Native Americans> indigenous
Did they have to fight? No, the land was untouched
were the sent there? not really, just looking for a place to settle
Been living there for thousands of years
took care of land since it is what they lived off of, they believed it was spiritual, one w/nature
VIKINGS
looking for greenland, found america instead
Leif Erikson sailed over North America, passed through from Greenland
fight? no, did not find a point
came on their own, raiding people
stayed for about 350 years in little mass #'s
very respectful of their own land, destroyed other's
CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS
1492

He sailed across the Atlantic Ocean that led to the American continents
was not the first to arrive in America
Christopher Columbus fought to conquer the Americas.He captured many Indians using force to bring them back to the Queen. He also raped many young women.
Columbus had stayed in America because he thought he had landed in India
He did not respect the land, took over from Natives by resettling, building, and conquering
