Humanities Homework Help

I am looking for at least 400 words as a reply on a prompt:

1) Why might it be important to briefly learn about the peoples’
history of the Valley of Mexico, Central America, and South America
before discussing the first peoples of the modern-day United States
based on the textbook chapter? In other words, how might the history of
the Olmec, Maya, Aztec, and Inca encourage us to think differently about
the popular narrative/mainstream history of the US?

2) What were some key points/quotes that resonated with you from this
week’s textbook chapter, “Follow the Corn,” and why? Please include
specific examples.

3) How might the textbook chapter connect to one of our key terms from last week? How and why?

4) What are your thoughts/reactions to Winona LaDuke’s TED
Talk? What might the points discussed be significant in our
understanding of this week’s material?

5) What were your previous understandings of Christopher Columbus, or
what did you learn about him in grade school? How did both articles
challenge your previous perspective of Christopher Columbus?

6) Compare/contrast the authors’ perspectives from the “Columbus Day Comic” and the “Flawed Critique of Columbus Day.”

7) What does the term “Doctrine of Discovery” mean, and what is its
significance as we analyze US history from an Indigenous perspective?

8) In the textbook, what does the chapter title “Culture of
Conquest” mean/refer to? What were some key passages in the chapter that
stood out to you, and why?
