The Anasazi

Tuesday, February 9th

Started class by discussing the readings from the night before. What are some of these new ideas regarding early migrations of ancient American peoples? Then began to look at some early "civilizations" in North America. From a previous homework, what constitutes a "civilization"? The Anasazi are a good example. Mr. M showed some pics and then we moved to the lab to take a brief tour of Anasazi sites.

Native Tribes to North America

So, where did the Pre-Columbian peoples (Native Americans) come from? We looked at the Bering Land Bridge (Clovis First) theory. Then we watched a video about Kennewick Man and began a discussion about alternate theories of early human migration in North America.
