Native American Discussion
Question Description
Please answer all these questions and I have attached all the websites and powerpoints needed to construct the discussion.
– This week we learned about the importance of historical thinking and analyzing texts and history based on context. Practice analyzing the Bering Strait Theory (BST) texts through your own personal context: what were your thoughts/reactions? Had you heard of the BST before? Was anything surprising/shocking/interesting to you?
– According to the author, what are the controversies surrounding the Bering Strait Theory? In contrast, what are the current scientific perspectives on the Bering Strait theory, according to this week’s PowerPoint lecture?
– Now let’s practice analyzing the context of the BST articles. For example, what do we know about the author, time of publication, place of publication, intended audience, etc.?
– What connections do you see between the BST articles and the TED Talk? How might the BST articles also connect to one of our key terms from our PowerPoint lecture?
– Lastly, what did you learn or what stood out to you in our reading about the Kumeyaay of Southern California? Why might it be important to begin our course learning about who is indigenous to the land in which our own campus sits?
**Don’t forget to also respond to at least 1 peer’s post. Your response post must reach the 200 word minimum requirement. Both posts are due no later than 11:59 pm on Monday, June 1.
