Today
in Human Geo we gave our group presentations. Only the people who did Columbus
did not present because there was not enough time so I guess we will being
seeing that next class. My group did our PowerPoint on the Vikings but the document thing
we needed for the answers wasn't working for anyone so we didn't have it
complete. When it was our turn Matt and I read off another classes
presentations. The other one was about the Native Americans. Here are some
things I learned. They arrived here about 12,000 to 17,000 years ago. They got
here by crossing the ice bridge that stretched from Russia to Alaska during the colder
times. The reason they crossed it was because they were following a herd of mammoths. The
Americans are known as hunters and gathers. They were the first to come to
America as far as history tells us. They didn't have to fight to conquer
America because there was nobody here. That doesn't mean that there was any
fighting. They had to fight invading Europeans and sometimes even each other.
They were not sent by anyone because they were just following the food. Most
people believe that when the first arrived in Alaska they went to Canada. From
that point they just poured down and populated the whole country of America and
even South America.
