Reflection, Module 2

This module is so broad along with having some prior knowledge this just makes this easier to blog about. The thing that stood out the most was the physical evidence, that was shown in the First Americans video. All of the different tools, signs of life and fossils that still remained from the prior livings of these Native Americans or Indians. It amazes me that these people were not in just one place, these Native Americans were everywhere.

 Before Christopher Columbus discovered the "The Americas" the Native Americans or Indians were living in their own systematic ways, this was comfortable enough for them. When Christopher Columbus arrived in the Virgin land around the 15th or 16th century, he didn't understand their way of living and thinking. This also was scary to him only because there was a civilization of people, it was so many Natives that it was astonishing. It was plenty of evidence that these Native Americans were living in their own colonies and communities. 


Places such as Folsom, NM had evidence that was discovered in 1926 the evidence of life was a spear sticking in a bison's ribs. This piece of the fossil had dated to about 2,000 years old and this was a great reveal for signs of life. Another city that discovered evidence was Clovis, NM this is where they found Clovis points and those Clovis points were found across the Americas, and they also outdated the fossils from Folsom. These Clovis points dated to be 13,500 years old, these were later found a few years after the Folsom fossils.

Theses Indians came by the millions and there were a variety of cultures, languages, and ways of life. I know we haven't gotten this far but a question I will have is; What happened to these millions of Indians and how did they disappear so quickly? This was a significant part of the module because there wouldn't 
be History without any evidence of life and productivity.
