Birds of North America

This week's reading and lecture opens my eyes of course to how America was founded, and the different people groups that were among the first to settle in America. My interest was taken in the first people group known as the hunter-gatherers. The lives of the hunter-gatherers had to be wearing on their bodies and minds as they had to migrate along with the animals they hunted for food. Anything possessions had to be small, and living quarters were primitive, consisting of crude tents and huts,…

The United States of America has been named as a youthful country, given its genuine starting in the year 1776, when the Declaration of Independence was broadcasted. As a general rule, the adventure colonization, these United States have been experiencing starts before 1776. It is anything but difficult to take after the sequential timeline of the United States. Its colonization history frequently starts with Leif Ericson, who has accepted to set out to this area in the year 1000. At that point,…

mystery to how people came to the Americas. Some of these include, “The Bering Land Bridge”, “Coastal Entry”, “Atlantic Theory”, “Pacific Theory”, “African Theory”, and the “Creationist Theory”. Many of these theories are more valid than others. This paper will discuss one of these theories. The Bering Land Bridge is the most valid of these selections for multiple reasons. “The Bering Land Bridge” is the most valid theory for how Native Americans came to America, because of evidence from carbon…

This weeks reading takes a look at two specific ways in which globalization has shaped the American South by charting shifts in the demography and the economy. Raymond Mohl's Globalization, Latinization, and the Nuevo New South looks into the demographic changes of the region brought by shifting migration patterns in the 1980s and the willingness of companies to secure a low cost labor force has since culminated in a shift the black and white binary of the South into an ethnic plurality with the…

Western expansion affected the lives of Native Americans during the mid 1800’s to the end of the 1800’s because the government forced them to move to the middle of nowhere because there was no use to the land and the land that the Native’s were originally on, there was valuable uses to them. Another thing that affected the Native Americans was the Sand Creek Massacre, the Indians were at Sand Creek and one morning militia came and they started to shoot at the Indians and they killed men, women…

Growing up in Jamaica was not what some may think as ideal, it has been described as a Third World Country, but to me, it was just home. Third world indeed, poor, violent at times; a contradiction, with its sandy beaches, clear blue skies, delectable food, feel good music, and some of the hardest working people one can ever have the pleasure of meeting, who refused to stay where life may have placed them, but strived to climb above those circumstances and attempt to carve out a life…

The first settlers in American History known as the Native American has long lived in the United States long before the arrival of the Europeans. Their depiction throughout films has shaped how many Americans in this society perceives native Americans. In this film Reel Injun, a documentary was a refreshing light finally shed on those who have the potential to contribute most to our corrupt society; indigenous people. Neil Diamond, the director, used this film to not only uncover the truth…

The American Indians and Alaska Natives are racial/ethnic minorities with special needs regarding disparities in accessing health care services. To understand the unique challenges faced by this population, consider that the suicide rate is fifty percent higher than that of the white Americans (Hays, Carroll, Ferguson, Fore, & Horton, 2014). Moreover, the author reported that the rate of substance abuse, mental health issues, and underfunding for health care in their communities are further…

There will always be conflicting views on our history. Many have debated when our history actually starts. Was it with the arrival of the Europeans, or did it begin earlier? Dr. John Finger pondered this same question in his article, “Tennessee Indian History: Creativity and Power,” he also successfully answered this question. Our history begun with those Native Americans and how throughout all of the obstacles thrown their way, they managed to adapt and at times thrive. This is why the history…
