 * __ Assignment 8 __**

As we have studied, Africans were forced to migrate to North and South America while European settlers migrated to North and South America looking for new opportunities for a better life. Once European settlers set up villages, towns, cities, and governments in these colonized lands, their interactions with the indigenous population (Native Americans) changed many lives.


 * Directions ** : Using the phrases below, you will independently explain some of these interactions between American settlers and Native Americans in North America. Write a paragraph (6-8 sentences) that explains what all the phrases mean and give an example from US history that illustrates each phrase.


 * forced migration/relocation
 * forced assimilation
 * cultural genocide
 * Manifest Destiny

While the Americans were settling in their new land, the pilgrims and the Native Americans have been affected dramatically. A //population transfer// occurred. Population transfer is the same thing as ‘resettlement’. This is when a large group of people move from one country (or region) to another country. Usually people are forced to migrate to another region due to their beliefs or their ethnicity. So, in the States, Native Americans were relocated to their own designated reservations. Most of the reservations are in the western states. There was also //cultural assimilation.// This was when the Americans (Europeans) converted the Native Americans into their European culture. The Native Americans started speaking the settlers’ language (English) and started to wear European clothes. Then there was //cultural genocide.// This was when half of the Native Americans were //wiped out//, ever since the Europeans came. Most Native Americans were killed by diseases, like smallpox and the measles. In the 1890s, the population of indigenous people in the Western Hemisphere have dropped from 100 million to a mere 1.8. But not only were the people killed, but their cultures were killed as well. They can't even speak their own language, practice their beliefs, nor wear their normal clothes. There was also //manifest destiny.// Americans/ Europeans thought that their destiny (God's Plan) was to spread all across the United States. The Natives have suffered many consequences from this. The European settlers minimized the Native's land and forced the Natives to move far West. Eventually, the Natives were put into their own little reservations with less resources. Meanwhile, the Europeans got the rest of the land.

~Kunte Kinte || ~Kunte Kinte || ~C. Davies || (Dead) ||= Dec. 1767 ||< 5. Hi. Today was... hectic. It started out normally, until I heard those nrs comin' up with a plan to escape. Ha! As if they'd ever be able to do that. It's impossible. They are just a bunch of idiots, but useful. But, I took them for granted. They attacked when we forced them to dance (their dancing was not amusing). One of the slaves had threw a knife directly at my chest. Yes, yes, I was killed. The whole fight stopped when one of my fellow sailors shot a canon at the slaves. They were injured. If I was alive, I would be very disappointed and angry. I had repeatedly told everyone to NOT hurt the slaves the minute the fight started. -Sigh- Oh well, I have to go. Pray for me. And goodbye forever. ~Slater || =__<span style="color: #000000; font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif; font-size: 170%;">Y <span style="color: #19181b; font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif; font-size: 170%;">o <span style="color: #3a393c; font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif; font-size: 170%;">u <span style="color: #424242; font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif; font-size: 170%;">r <span style="color: #707070; font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif; font-size: 170%;">W <span style="color: #7f7e81; font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif; font-size: 170%;">o <span style="color: #919092; font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif; font-size: 170%;">r <span style="color: #98959d; font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif; font-size: 170%;">l <span style="color: #adabb0; font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif; font-size: 170%;">d <span style="color: #c1c0c4; font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif; font-size: 170%;">: <span style="color: #bfbec0; font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif; font-size: 150%;">A <span style="color: #b4b2b8; font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif; font-size: 150%;">s <span style="color: #99979b; font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif; font-size: 150%;">s <span style="color: #86828c; font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif; font-size: 150%;">ig <span style="color: #707070; font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif; font-size: 150%;">n <span style="color: #5e5e5e; font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif; font-size: 150%;">m <span style="color: #424242; font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif; font-size: 150%;">e <span style="color: #3a393c; font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif; font-size: 150%;">n <span style="color: #19181b; font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif; font-size: 150%;">t <span style="color: #000000; font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif; font-size: 150%;">2 __=
 * = **Who** ||= **Date** ||< **Diary Entry** ||
 * = Kunte Kinte ||= May 1763 ||< 1. Ah, nothing but an ordinary day. This morning my dear mother screamed at me since I didn't finish my breakfast. Next, I went to herd the sheep. Just like the usual. But, today there was a cheetah near the sheep! It attacked one of our pregnant sheep. I chased it away with my whip, isn't that clever? Sadly, the sheep died, but I cut out its fur so we can use it for the winter. As I rushed to the river to find Father, he looked rather angry. He reminded me that I was not a man yet, and what I did was dangerous. He also showed me his scar from fighting a lion! He ordered me to get wood for Mother, and I obeyed him. Today was rather long, but at least I finished all of my work. I have to go sleep now, and get ready for another long day tomorrow. I will write again soon. Goodbye.
 * = Kunte Kinte ||= Aug. 1765 ||< 2. Good evening. Well, you can call me a man now! I finally finished manhood training camp. I learned many things on how to be a true man. I must be strong; mentally and physically. I also must be brave for the sake of the tribe.Today, when the other men and I returned to the village everyone was dancing and singing for us. It was amazing! After the celebration, I went to Mother to pick up my stuff for my NEW hut. My mother told me to say "thank you" to father, but I immediately said, "You can't tell me what to do. I'm a man now." After that, my mother backed down and apologized. I realized how powerful a man could be. I ran to my new hut. It feels good to have your own little space. But, shortly after that, my grandmother found me and was suddenly scolding me. She had said that I did not treat my mother right. It turns out my mother and father had been working very hard for me. I don't think what I did was right. Well, I have to go. I have to go find some wood to make a toy for my little brother. I will right again soon. Farewell!

 * = Capt. Davies ||= Aug. 1767 ||< 4. Today is the day to travel to Africa. I am somewhat excited, but I miss my family dearly. I have never seen slaves been captured before. Before we boarded on the ship, Mr. Slater and I had been discussing various punishments for the slaves. For example, branding iron, or thumbscrews. After we boarded the ship, I went to see the lower deck to check out the place where the slaves stayed. It was quite small, I wasn't sure if it would fit all the slaves. As I was looking around, Mr. Slater came in to check on me. I asked him whether or not all the slaves would fit in here. Mr. Slater had said that they would be positioned in a way where they would be lying down and they'd be cramped together in order to save room. Slater described the slaves to me. Apparently they were dumb n*s. I wasn't sure of that. But, since Slater is experienced I might as well trust him. Well, it is time for me to say farewell. Goodbye, and I will right again soon about this adventure.

 * = Sample(Kadi Touray)** ||= Aug. 1765 ||< My family and I are still on our way to Kerewan but I'm not sure how much farther we still have to go. Luckily, we accidentally met a local villager named Kunte Kinte who told me that it's one day to Kerewan. The interesting thing is how we met this young man. He knocked Fanta over and spilled our water and knocked over our millet as he was chasing a bird for his manhood training. He obviously needs to learn to run faster because I easily caught up to him and dragged him back to apologize to Fanta for knocking her over. After he clumsily put our stuff back, he bid us farewell and took off again after his bird. I did notice that Fanta gave our visitor a strange look. Perhaps she has been struck by the love arrow. If we do meet Kunte Kinte again, I will make sure he is the right man for my beloved daughter. ||

Now that you are finished with your poster, I would like you to reflect on this project. Please answer the following questions clearly ** on your wiki page **.

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">1) Explain one thing that you found most interesting or surprising while doing this project? A: What I found interesting was how much I have traveled in my life. I was surprised that during my life, there were so many things that were happening in the world; like various tsunamis and earthquakes, or how the World Trade Center was destroyed, and many more. Earlier in my life, I haven't paid much attention to what was happening around me, but as I got older I realized that so many things were going on in the world around me. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">2) Explain one thing you think you did well in this project? A:I think I did well on my organization and neatness overall on the poster. I put everything in its significant place so everything is easy to find and read.

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">3) Explain one thing you think you need to improve if you were to do another project like this? A: If I were to do this project again, I would work on my neatness on my timeline. I would try to make sure that all the dates are evenly spread out and that all the information wouldn't be to "crowded". Other than that, I don't think I need to change anything. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">4) Name at least two life skills you think you practiced during this project. How did you practice these life skills during this project? Be specific. A: One life skill I practiced was Time Management, I had to plan my time ahead and figure out what part of the project I should do in class, and what part I should do at home. By making a schedule, I was able to work on this project efficiently. Another life skill I practiced was Problem Solving. Throughout this project I had many problems (minor problems), for example, the placing of information and pictures on my timeline was unorganized. So I flipped to the other side of the timeline and started over again with pencil. Though it was hard, it met my expectations.
