Teachers Beyond American Journeys Going Beyond American Journeys: Finding Other Primary Sources on Early Exploration About 1020 A.D., Thorfinn Karlsefni discovered on a beach in Newfoundland or Labrador “so many eider-duck. . . that a man could hardly take a step for the eggs” and “no shortage of provisions, for there was hunting of animals on the mainland, eggs in the island breeding-grounds, and fish from the sea.” This was the first and only European description of a North American environment for 500 years. But shortly after Columbus blundered into the Caribbean in the autumn of 1492, the observers who followed in his wake began to catalog the natural resources of the “new” world. The astonishing number of textual sources that they created about the environmental history of North America is a mixed blessing. On the one hand, testimony of past witnesses about the state of the landscape does exist for many parts of the continent. On the other, its sheer volume can make it quite difficult to discover exactly what may have been said about any given place at any given time. Additional confusion arises because what a text says may seem straightforward while what it means is obscured by cultural assumptions and discursive practices of an earlier age. This short piece is meant to help you address these two challenges.

83. Richard White And The New Western History A new trend in the study of american history has stirred up controversy in Instead, it delineates the forming of a region one already endowed with http://www.washington.edu/research/showcase/1990a.html

Richard White and the New Western History "Challenging and at times veritably poetic, Richard White's The Middle Ground establishes a meaningful new framework for the analysis of Indian-white relations. Rather than setting up easy victim-exploiter categories or glorifying Native American resistance, White examines how violence, cultural innovation, confrontation, and accommodation worked on the ground, in specific interactions and conflicts between and within settler and indigenous groups. The author views Native Americans and Europeans soberly, showing the deep divisions on each side in relation to questions of power, legitimacy, and meaning. By resisting the temptation to glorify or satanize either side, White presents a deep, humane, and enduring picture of Native American heroism in the face of increasingly unviable odds. His conceptualization of the "middle ground," and of the role of the state in constructing ethnicity, also represent contributions of lasting value to our understanding of Indian-white relations throughout the Americas."

85. The Mexica / Aztecs This is why we know far more about Aztec history before 1500—and in far greater chronological detail—than any other american peoples. http://www.wsu.edu/~dee/CIVAMRCA/AZTECS.HTM

History Aztec , is a startlingly imprecise term to describe the culture that dominated the Valley of Mexico in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. Properly speaking, all the Nahua-speaking peoples in the Valley of Mexico were Aztecs, while the culture that dominated the area was a tribe of the Mexica (pronounced "me-shee-ka") called the Tenochca ("te-noch-ka"). At the time of the European conquest, they called themselves either "Tenochca" or " Toltec ," which was the name assumed by the bearers of the Classic Mesoamerican culture. The earliest we know about the Mexica is that they migrated from the north into the Valley of Mexico as early as the twelfth century AD, well after the close of the Classic Period in Mesoamerica. They were a subject and abject people, forced to live on the worst lands in the valley. They adopted the cultural patterns (called Mixteca-Pueblo ) that originated in the culture of Toltec (which means "craftsman"), who continued Classic urban culture, and the Chichimec , or wild people, who settled Mesoamerica from the north. The Mexica were, then, originally Chichimec when they migrated into Mexico, but eventually became Toltecs proper. Tenochtitlan , or "place of the Tenochcas."

Thunder Bay National Marine Sanctuary Official Site September 18, 2005 Home About Us Regulations Resource Protection ... Visit Maritime History Excerpted from the Final Environmental Impact Statement / Management Plan The following excerpt describes Thunder Bay's important place in Great Lakes maritime history. For a list of specific historic subjects, go directly to the Thunder Bay Maritime History Topic List. In its role as an impediment to navigation, a shelter from powerful storms, and a destination for sailors, the Thunder Bay region has accumulated an impressive array of shipwrecks over the past two centuries. Virtually all types of vessels employed on the open lakes regularly passed along this important trade route, and most vessel types are represented in the region's shipwreck collection. These vessels were engaged at the time of their loss, or at some point during their careers, in nearly every kind of trade. The vessels, therefore, link the Thunder Bay region to Great Lakes commerce to an extent that may be difficult to equal elsewhere.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: August 18, 2004 GOVERNOR PATAKI, SECRETARY PAIGE ANNOUNCE $17 MILLION IN "TEACHING AMERICAN HISTORY" GRANTS FOR NEW YORK SCHOOLS Funds Will Bolster Student Success in Studying Traditional American History Governor George E. Pataki and U.S Secretary of Education Rod Paige today announced that $17 million in grants from the federal "Teaching American History Program" have been awarded to schools across the State including New York City, Buffalo and Rochester. The goal of the program is to promote the teaching of traditional American history in elementary and secondary schools as a separate academic subject. The funds will be used in a variety of ways in 17 school districts across the State to improve the teaching and learning of traditional American History. The funds will also provide educators with professional development and content-specific teaching strategies. "We're proud that these new grants will allow us to bring American history alive for New York's students and provide our teachers with greater opportunities to improve performance and strengthen our students' understanding of American History," Governor Pataki said. "It's critical that our children understand and appreciate the important role America, and our values of freedom and democracy have played in shaping world history. I'm pleased to join Secretary Paige in announcing these new Federal grants." Secretary Rod Paige said, "Just last month, we celebrated the nation's independence, which was a time to acknowledge the founding principles of our great democracy and to remember the men and women who made our freedom possible. These grants will deepen teachers' knowledge of and appreciation for the history of this great nation. It also will help them parlay that knowledge into more effective classroom instruction. I firmly believe that students who are well-grounded in history will become active, informed participants in our democratic society."

This is a partial list of the reference materials that I've used to identify wild herps or just learn more about them. It's not a particularly well-balanced or representative list, as it is heavily biased towards parts of the world that I have personally visited. But first, you should check out Ellin Beltz's site that explains the meanings of the scientific names of North American amphibians and reptiles, because it is so cool. Then you can read more about names at the bottom of this page Handbook of Reptiles and Amphibians of Florida, Part One: The Snakes, Second Edition by Ray E. Ashton, Jr. and Patricia Sawyer Ashton Windward Publishing Inc, Miami, FL, 1988 This is a useful and well-researched field guide. Each species is illustrated with one or more color photos mixed in with the text, and a range map by Florida county as well as a smaller map showing the entire range in the U.S. The text is informative but a little dry. An uninspired layout makes it a little harder to find what you're looking for than it should be. Overall a good to very good field guide, but Tennant's newer one is even better.
