Forced migration/relocation, it was something violent, many people died. The locating of tribes was something terrible. One of the most known removal were those in the 1830s from the American Southeast, which started with the Choctaw people. Forced Assimilation was the equality between different ''tribes. The US transferred the Native American Culture, to a American-Europian culture. There Native Americans were forced to learn english, going to the church and many more things. The cultural change had to be between 1790 - 1920. Cultural Genocides means mass killing. In 1960 the International Commision of Jurist quoted that there was physical genocide. It happend to actually claim cultural genocide. Manifest Destiny was destined to expand across the continent. This was a believe. =====

Today I had a good day! First I just went to help my mom with everything and do the normal everyday things. Later when I went out with my friends, I saw a leopard eating one of our sheep! I went there immediately and got my slingshot ready. The first time that I threw my slingshot, the leopard just looked at me angry. I threw it again, and then it ran away! Sadly, our sheep was already dead. I was so proud of myself, until I talked to my dad about it. I first showed him the sheepskin I had with me proudly, we could use it for a lot of things! He said it was way too dangerous to do something like this alone, without any kind of training or weapon. He showed me a scar he got from doing something like that. I really thought he would be proud of me… After talking to him I went helping my mom with cooking and stuff. When I had some free time, I wondered about some kind of manhood camp I heard of. I really wonder what it’s about. Well tomorrow is a busy day so I must be going to bed now, goodnight! ||
 * = **Who** ||= **Date** ||< **Diary Entry** ||
 * = Kunte Kinte ||= May 1763 ||< 1.
 * = Kunte Kinte ||= Aug. 1765 ||< 2. Today was our last day of manhood training, I can feel that I'm a real man now! Something very, very shocking happened though! I was looking to catch a chicken/bird and bring it alive back to the camp. When I finally had the chicken in my hands, the weirdest thing happened. I saw white men, with about 10 African people. They had ropes around their neck. I was terrified. I sat behind the tree, and looked at all the people while they walked by, than all of the sudden my chicken made a sound. One of the white men walked up in my direction, he had a long stick in his hand and that stick made a loud noise in the direction of the chicken while it was trying to escape. Nothing happened to the chicken, so he left. I ran back as fast as I could to the camp, and told everyone the white man had arrived. Later that day, I had a talk with my mother. She was rude, you can not speak to a man in the way she did! I did get my own hut, which is so nice so I can be by myself! ||
 * = Kunte Kinte ||= Dec. 1767 ||< 3. ||
 * = Mr. Slater ||= Aug. 1767 ||< 4. I'm ready to get those monkeys. We have our ship ready to place our slaves. We have a total of 170 black slaves that we are going to get from Africa. The Blacks are just made for slavery, their dumb but hard working. They can't even talk normal, they just grumble all the time. I really think I have to be harsh to Captain Davies, he doesn't know how to tread the Blacks. Actually, he doesn't know how to do any of this. But if you want those Blacks to work hard, tread them that way. I have done this for a lot of times, getting the Blacks and transporting them, he should listen to me. Well, I must go now to check one more time if the ship is all ready. Tomorrow I hope we will be almost there. ||
 * = Capt. Davies entry two ||= Dec. 1767 ||< 5. We are finally going back to America, we have all of our African slaves on the ship. I am not to sure what I am thinking about the method we are using. Mr. Slater is so strict, and rude. Using woman the please man! For God sake we are Christian! The training for the man is not a that bad idea, Mr. Slater is right about having them in good conditions.Even though we just have the black slaves on board, does not mean I feel good about it. I wish I had never taken this journey. I miss my wife and kids. This is not the kind of thing I want to do. This will be the last time. ||
 * = **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. ||

Welcome to Julia's wiki :)

 * 1) Explain one thing that you found most interesting or surprising while doing this project? It was really interesting to see where I had been. I didn’t know that I have been to so many different countries.
 * 2) Explain one thing you think you did well in this project? The map turned nice, everything was need. I really liked doing the map because I learned from it.
 * 3) Explain one thing you think you need to improve if you were to do another project like this? I need to improve on starting on time. Even though my project was finished 1 minute before class, I want to have it done the evening before school.

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. I learned some big events in the world, things like the twin towers, I had no idea when this happened. I had heard a lot of the world events that I wrote in my timeline but I didn’t know when it all happened. I practiced this by searching it and read information, I learned a lot. Another life skill I learned is starting on time. I have been struggling with getting work in on time my whole life. This project has changed me ( I hope) with starting on time, it feels so bad to do everything at the last moment
