One theory discussed, is that Egyptians were able to cross over due to some inscriptions and language similarities that were found between the two civilizations. Another theory is that the Japanese may have made it over to the Americas via the Japanese current or even Hawaii. Apparently some Japanese pottery and armor strongly resembled the Ecuadoreans pottery and Tlingit armor. The author then lightly touches on some creation myths and even some agriculture information. The author doesn’t spend much time in this section and doesn’t go into much detail.
Historical Report on Race Courtney S. McManus ETH/125 April 15, 2013 Erica Joynes Jinsey, I think it is a really fabulous idea to do your research paper on Native American history.

As children we were taught the rhyme;’ ‘In fourteen hundred ninety-two Columbus sailed the ocean blue.’ This was where the history books say the United States began; with Columbus’ fateful voyage across the blue ocean to discover a new land. Although Columbus is credited for ‘discovering America’, when Columbus arrived people already inhabited this new world. People with traditions, beliefs, and cultures unique to their individual tribes. Columbus can be credited with beginning of the fall of Native Americans in the social structure of American society. When Columbus first came in contact with native people, he felt “they could easily be commanded and made to work, to sow and to do whatever might be needed, to build towns and be taught
Scalping Report Riley Taylor CHA 3U1 September 29,13 Long ago, before Christopher Columbus discovered America, the Native Americans ruled the land that we call home today. In 1492 European colonization of the Americas began and this is when the Europeans came into America. (Pálsson, Hermann (1965)) Many people today are curious as to who started scalping, The European colonists or the Native Americans. Did the Europeans introduce scalping to the Natives or were the Natives already practicing this before the colonists had arrived. Scalping is defined as the act of cutting or tearing the skin covering the top of the human head, or a peace of hide from the skull of certain animals, used as a trophy of victory.

Latrell A. Phillips History of Education: EDU 324 Assimilation/Acculturation of Native Americans Instructor: Jennifer Allen February 18, 2012 Assimilation is very similar to acculturation. Assimilation is basically when one culture (minority) take on the dominant traits of another culture (larger group). Characteristics such as language, customs, ethnicity and self-identity is loss when assimilation.

Some people may think that racism is a fairly recent thing. Little do they know that racism has existed in our society since the colonial era. Whenever I think of the word racism I imagine the 60‘s when just about everything was segregated and Martin Luther King gave his famous “I have a Dream” speech. However I also may as well be thinking of the early 1700‘s when racism was really kicking off with the newfound “Indians”, also known as Native Americans. Following this explosion of racism was scientists and philosophers wondering if a different race was the same as a different species.
