Write 2 paragraphs on 1 page. Answers must be thoughtful and at least 8 sentences in length:
1/ Use the Native Land project website (Links to an external site.) (https://native-land.ca/ (Links to an external site.)) to explore someplace special to you—your hometown, for example, or a favorite place to visit. What are three things you learned about the indigenous nations for whom that place is their traditional territory?
2/ U.S. history classes often begin with the arrival of English Puritans or the American Revolution. How does it change your ideas of what “American history” includes to start, as in Gabaccia chapter 1, with interactions between multiple European, Native American, and African peoples on both sides of what is now the U.S.-Mexico border?
