Teacher Background Information o one knows for certain how many Native Americans lived in North America N before the European exploration and settlement of the continent. Anthropologists estimate that north of Mexico there may have been as many as 10 million inhabitants. Of these probably half a million lived along the coastal plain of the east coast and in the foothills of the nearby mountains. Within a few years after the Spanish set foot on the islands of the West Indies ships from other European states sailed the waters off the eastern seaboard of what is now the United States. Explorers from all maritime European states sought to establish a foothold on the continent. Raiding parties captured native peoples and in the search for wealth paid no regard to the people they encountered. In their first encounters with Europeans Native Americans were exposed to diseases to which they had no natural immunity. Without resistance to even minor European illnesses, millions of Native Americans died. It has been estimated that 90% of the native populations of the American continents perished within a hundred years of Columbus’s landing in the West Indies. Not all died as a result of Old World maladies. The ruthless treatment of native peoples by the Spanish as well as those of other colonizing powers, including the English, accounted for countless deaths. The history of the English settlement of North America is one of both cooperation and conflict with Native Americans. After initially trying to prevent the landing of the colonists at Jamestown in 1607 the Powhatans helped save the colony from starvation. The Pilgrims who landed at Plymouth in 1620 would not have survived without the help of the Wampanoag confederacy. Within a short period of time cooperation gave way to conflict. One of the chief problems involved the different concept of land and land ownership. Native Americans generally believed that the land was a gift from the creator The Huntington Library, Art Collections, and Botanical Gardens 3 Cooperation and Conflict Lesson Plan to be used for the welfare of the people. Europeans came to America with a different concept. Land was the source of both livelihood and a source of personal wealth. Private ownership was something foreign to Native Americans. Europeans also marveled at the way they could entice Indians to trade corn, furs, and other commodities for a few beads or glass trinkets. Within a short period of time fierce combat between settlers and Native Americans replaced cordial agreements. Ultimately after defeating Indians in combat treaties were imposed that ceded more and more land to the settlers. This was not the case in all English colonies. Roger Williams, founder of the Rhode Island colony, believed in fair treatment in all dealings with Native Americans. Williams, a Puritan minister, was expelled from the Massachusetts Bay Colony partly because he preached that settlers should purchase land from the Indians at a fair price. William Penn also stands out as a colonial leader who treated the Indians of Pennsylvania with respect in signing treaties with equals rather than manipulating Indians to achieve better trade agreements or confiscate their lands. Throughout this lesson Native American and Indian are used interchangeably. It should also be noted that there are various spellings of names. The lesson attempts to use the more commonly used spelling. Primary source documents presented in the lesson have been reprinted with conventional spelling for ease in reading. III.

Lesson Activities A glossary is included with each of the group readings. Definitions of the vocabulary words listed in the glossary are based on their usage in the lesson readings. You may wish to develop a vocabulary activity or game to help build student fluency and vocabulary development. A. Before beginning the lesson ask students if they know the difference between a primary source and a secondary source. Define primary source as information about events that were recorded at the time the events took place. Make certain that students understand that primary sources are more than printed words or written documents. Maps, artifacts, paintings can all be primary sources. Discuss how historians examine primary sources as pieces of evidence from the past in order to determine the causes or consequences of historical events. Remind students that primary sources may be slanted or biased. Ask students if they were writing a history of colonial America if it would be useful to have a variety of viewpoints including perspectives of Native Americans. Tell students that much of what we know about the early relations between Native Americans and white settlers comes from books, journals, or official documents written from the

  • (King Philip's War), 1675-1676 Dissertation Presented in Partial
    Connecticut Unscathed: Victory in The Great Narragansett War (King Philip’s War), 1675-1676 Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Major Jason W. Warren, M.A. Graduate Program in History The Ohio State University 2011 Dissertation Committee: John F. Guilmartin Jr., Advisor Alan Gallay, Kristen Gremillion Peter Mansoor, Geoffrey Parker Copyright by Jason W. Warren 2011 Abstract King Philip’s War (1675-1676) was one of the bloodiest per capita in American history. Although hostile native groups damaged much of New England, Connecticut emerged unscathed from the conflict. Connecticut’s role has been obscured by historians’ focus on the disasters in the other colonies as well as a misplaced emphasis on “King Philip,” a chief sachem of the Wampanoag groups. Although Philip formed the initial hostile coalition and served as an important leader, he was later overshadowed by other sachems of stronger native groups such as the Narragansetts. Viewing the conflict through the lens of a ‘Great Narragansett War’ brings Connecticut’s role more clearly into focus, and indeed enables a more accurate narrative for the conflict. Connecticut achieved success where other colonies failed by establishing a policy of moderation towards the native groups living within its borders. This relationship set the stage for successful military operations. Local native groups, whether allied or neutral did not assist hostile Indians, denying them the critical intelligence necessary to coordinate attacks on Connecticut towns. The English colonists convinced allied Mohegan, Pequot, and Western Niantic warriors to support their military operations, giving Connecticut forces a decisive advantage in the field.

  • William Bradford Makes His First Substantial
    Ed The Pequot Conspirator White William Bradford makes his first substantial ref- erence to the Pequots in his account of the 1628 Plymouth Plantation, in which he discusses the flourishing of the “wampumpeag” (wam- pum) trade: [S]trange it was to see the great alteration it made in a few years among the Indians themselves; for all the Indians of these parts and the Massachusetts had none or very little of it, but the sachems and some special persons that wore a little of it for ornament. Only it was made and kept among the Narragansetts and Pequots, which grew rich and potent by it, and these people were poor and beggarly and had no use of it. Neither did the English of this Plantation or any other in the land, till now that they had knowledge of it from the Dutch, so much as know what it was, much less that it was a com- modity of that worth and value.1 Reading these words, it might seem that Bradford’s understanding of Native Americans has broadened since his earlier accounts of “bar- barians . readier to fill their sides full of arrows than otherwise.”2 Could his 1620 view of them as undifferentiated, arrow-hurtling sav- ages have been superseded by one that allowed for the economically complex diversity of commodity-producing traders? If we take Brad- ford at his word, the answer is no. For “Indians”—the “poor and beg- garly” creatures Bradford has consistently described—remain present in this description but are now joined by a different type of being who have been granted proper names, are “rich and potent” compared to “Indians,” and are perhaps superior to the English in mastering the American Literature, Volume 81, Number 3, September 2009 DOI 10.1215/00029831-2009-022 © 2009 by Duke University Press Downloaded from http://read.dukeupress.edu/american-literature/article-pdf/81/3/439/392273/AL081-03-01WhiteFpp.pdf by guest on 28 September 2021 440 American Literature economic lay of the land.

  • Living with the Indians.Rtf
    Living With the Indians Introduction Archaeologists believe the American Indians were the first people to arrive in North America, perhaps having migrated from Asia more than 16,000 years ago. During this Paleo time period, these Indians rapidly spread throughout America and were the first people to live in Virginia. During the Woodland period, which began around 1200 B.C., Indian culture reached its highest level of complexity. By the late 16th century, Indian people in Coastal Plain Virginia, united under the leadership of Wahunsonacock, had organized themselves into approximately 32 tribes. Wahunsonacock was the paramount or supreme chief, having held the title “Powhatan.” Not a personal name, the Powhatan title was used by English settlers to identify both the leader of the tribes and the people of the paramount chiefdom he ruled. Although the Powhatan people lived in separate towns and tribes, each led by its own chief, their language, social structure, religious beliefs and cultural traditions were shared. By the time the first English settlers set foot in “Tsenacommacah, or “densely inhabited land,” the Powhatan Indians had developed a complex culture with a centralized political system. Living With the Indians is a story of the Powhatan people who lived in early 17th-century Virginia—their social, political, economic structures and everyday life ways. It is the story of individuals, cultural interactions, events and consequences that frequently challenged the survival of the Powhatan people. It is the story of how a unique culture, through strong kinship networks and tradition, has endured and maintained tribal identities in Virginia right up to the present day.

  • The Adventures of Captain John Smith, Pocahontas, and a Sundial Sara J
    The Adventures of Captain John Smith, Pocahontas, and a Sundial Sara J. Schechner (Cambridge MA) Let me tell you a tale of intrigue and ingenuity, savagery and foreign shores, sex and scientific instruments. No, it is not “Desperate Housewives,” or “CSI,” but the “Adventures of Captain John Smith, Pocahontas, and a Sundial.”1 As our story opens in 1607, we find Captain John Smith paddling upstream through the Virginia wilderness, when he is ambushed by Indians, held prisoner, and repeatedly threatened with death. His life is spared first by the intervention of his magnetic compass, whose spinning needle fascinates his captors, and then by Pocahontas, the chief’s sexy daughter. At least that is how recent movies and popular writing tell the story.2 But in fact the most famous compass in American history was more than a compass – it was a pocket sundial – and the Indian princess was no seductress, but a mere child of nine or ten years, playing her part in a shaming ritual. So let us look again at the legend, as told by John Smith himself, in order to understand what his instrument meant to him. Who was John Smith?3 When Smith (1580-1631) arrived on American shores at the age of twenty-seven, he was a seasoned adventurer who had served Lord Willoughby in Europe, had sailed the Mediterranean in a merchant vessel, and had fought for the Dutch against Spain and the Austrians against the Turks. In Transylvania, he had been captured and sold as a slave to a Turk. The Turk had sent Smith as a gift to his girlfriend in Istanbul, but Smith escaped and fled through Russia and Poland.

  • PERIOD: ___Jamestown and Tobac
    NAME: _______________________________________________________ PERIOD: ____________ Jamestown and Tobacco In 1614, the new colony at Jamestown in what is now Virginia was a death camp of starving colonists with little hope of survival. John Rolfe had learned to smoke tobacco while in London and decided to take a shot at cultivating tobacco in Jamestown. Two years later, in June, 1616, Rolfe and other leaders of the colony arrived in London to discuss the newly successful crop. Despite King James I’s disapproval of the colony’s dependence on a crop he despised, the very survival of his namesake colony could be at stake. Tobacco became such a popular crop that a law had to be passed to force some food cultivation in the suddenly affluent colony. By 1619 Jamestown had exported 10 tons of tobacco to Europe and had left behind its dismal history of starvation, cannibalism and general debotchery. Tobacco can well be credited with making Jamestown the first permanent English colony in the New World.
