The Spaniards came and conquered Mexico, and the Indian population was reduced to one-and-a-half million pure-blooded Indians. The year of 1521, marked the birth of a new race, the mestizo, mixed Indian and Spanish blood. The mestizo explored parts of what it is now Texas. This move up north created an even stronger blend, the mestizaje, due to a mix of Mexicans, American Indians, and Spaniards. In the 1800s the Anglos took the mestizaje’s land and Mexico was forced to give up what it now is Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, Colorado, and California.
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.

Out of today’s population in the United States, a mere 0.8% is made up of what is referred to as Native American Decent (Macionis, 2012). One might think that out of the over 300 million people of various backgrounds, races, and ethnicities, this percentage of Native American descendants is a normal percentage. However, when reflecting on the history of the indigenous peoples of the pre-United States, colonial era, it is shocking to learn how they have faired over the last 500 years. Before the discovery of the land of what is now the United States, millions of natives occupied the lands. As the new settlers sought to take over the land, long periods of wars, forced displacement, massacres, imposition of treaties, and imposed hardships.

South Korea is not extremely religiously orientated, with half of all adults professing no religion.
