Spanish conquistadors traveled to the Amazon in the 1500s searching for the legendary golden city of El Dorado, though they found no treasures. In the early 1900s, Lieutenant Colonel Percy Fawcett of the Royal Geographic Society embarked on expeditions to find lost cities in the Amazon, but mysteriously disappeared in 1925. Archaeological evidence like ceramics has shown that large, settled societies lived in the areas around Marajo Island and the Xingu River over 500 years ago, despite the regions being very remote and isolated.

(2015) Indigenous Peoples of Canada (33.0 MB)
The document provides a detailed overview of the indigenous groups that inhabited Canada before European contact, including:
1) There were three main groups - First Nations, Inuit, and Métis. First Nations lived south of the tree line and were the most diverse, while the Inuit lived in the Arctic and were the most homogeneous.
2) First Nations arrived over 15,000 years ago via the Bering Strait land bridge. They lived as hunters and gatherers with an intimate knowledge of local ecosystems. Their populations were sparse but densest on the Northwest Coast and in the Iroquois Nation.
3) Cultures and languages varied widely by region but most societies were egalitarian with consensus-

This document provides information on several early Illinois tribes:
- The Potawatomi tribe used birchbark canoes, dugout canoes, dogs as pack animals, and hunted deer and fish for food.
- The Sac and Fox tribe was originally two tribes that merged after one was nearly destroyed in a war with the French.
- The Shawnee tribe held spring and fall bread dances and farmed corn and squash while men hunted deer and turkey.
- Dakota women built houses and dragged house posts while men hunted and were warriors; both genders participated in traditional arts.
- The Illini tribe lived in large rectangular houses and were nearly wiped out in the 1700s, with
Wisconsin Native Americans
Wisconsin was home to many Native American tribes as early as 1100 AD. Aztalan was one of the earliest settlements, located along a river in an area with good soil and resources. The village was surrounded by walls and contained houses and agricultural fields. Later tribes like the Menominee, Sauk, and Chippewa settled throughout Wisconsin, often moving between summer villages near water and winter settlements deeper in the forests. They hunted, fished, and gathered wild rice, berries, and maple syrup. While the tribes faced loss of land and relocation over time, some still maintain reservations in Wisconsin today.

Theme 5
The document provides information about Jacques Marquette, a French Jesuit priest who explored North America in the late 1600s. It describes how he learned Native American languages and served as a missionary. In 1673, he accompanied Louis Joliet on an expedition where they were the first Europeans to discover the Mississippi River. The passage also details Marquette's final mission in 1675, where he correctly predicted his death the next day while visiting the Illinois tribe.
The fox tribe
The Fox Tribe lived in the Eastern Woodlands and prairie regions of Michigan and Wisconsin. They spoke an Algonquian language and were closely related to the Sauk Tribe. The women grew crops while the men hunted, and they built different types of homes for summer and winter. The Fox had a matrilineal society led by both a hereditary Peace Chief and an elected War Chief. They practiced rituals related to the four cardinal directions and believed in spirits associated with the natural world.

Blackfoot Confederacy
The Blackfoot Confederacy was comprised of four Native American tribes - the North Piegan, South Piegan, Blood, and Siksika - who occupied territory in what is now Canada and Montana. They shared a common language and culture and were traveling hunter-gatherers who subsisted primarily on buffalo. In 1870, 173 Blackfoot people, mostly women, children, and elderly, were killed in an unprovoked attack by U.S. cavalry known as the Marias Massacre. Diseases brought by settlers and the near-extinction of the buffalo by the late 1800s severely reduced the Blackfoot population. Today, many Blackfoot live on reserves in Canada and on a Montana reservation.
Past history
This document summarizes the history of the indigenous Chibcha people in Colombia prior to and during Spanish colonization. It describes how early Chibcha tribes like the Muzos lived peacefully as farmers and miners, making offerings at a secret lagoon. When the Spanish arrived, they killed thousands of indigenous people and forced many into slavery, though some committed suicide to avoid subjugation. The indigenous population only survived due to the need for slave labor during colonization. The era of independence brought changes after years of genocide and oppression by the Spanish colonizers.
The Importance Of The Buffalo
The Buffalo was extremely important to Native Americans as it determined how they lived and provided them with all of their material needs. Tribes followed Buffalo herds and hunted them on foot or later with horses. Young men located herds and hunted Buffalo to feed their people, bringing great respect, while women prepared camps and processed the meat after hunts. The Buffalo was central to Native American life and culture.

History 1301 2 tuesday
Christopher Columbus was born in 1451 in Genoa, Italy and died in 1506 in Valladolid, Spain. There is evidence that people migrated to North America over a land bridge connecting Asia to North America as well as by boats and rafts as early as 22,000 BC. Native American tribes populated different regions of North and South America and developed diverse cultures, with some practicing agriculture while others were nomadic hunter-gatherers. Advanced civilizations including the Aztecs, Mayans, and Incas built large cities and sophisticated societies in Mesoamerica and South America.
North American Civilizations
The Anasazi lived in the southwestern United States, building villages called pueblos on mesas and in cliff caves for protection. Their largest pueblo had over 1800 rooms and housed around 3000 people. They farmed and crafted beautiful pottery and baskets. After a drought in the late 1300s, the Anasazi abandoned their homes and joined other groups like the Hopi and Zuni. The Mound Builders lived east of the Anasazi and constructed huge earthen mounds in various shapes, some as pyramids or animals. Groups like the Hopewell and Mississippian built mounds as foundations for temples, carrying dirt in baskets. The Mound Builders
CAPE Unit 1 African Presence before Columbus
The document provides evidence for African presence in the Americas before 1492, including stone heads, terra cotta sculptures, skeletons, inscriptions, oral traditions, and archaeological, botanical, linguistic, and cultural findings. Specific examples mentioned are African-like stone heads found in Mexico and the Virgin Islands, as well as skeletons found in the Virgin Islands that were determined to be morphologically African.
Native americans
The document summarizes aspects of four Native American civilizations:
The Mayan civilization flourished from 250-900 AD in Central America. They were traders who used roads and canoes to transport goods. Their demands exceeded the capacity of their land.
The Spanish conquered the Aztecs within two years in the 1500s due to their superior weapons. The conquistadors became wealthy by looting Aztec gold.
The Navajo settled in the southwest US around 1000 AD. They were hunter-gatherers who lived in hogans and grew crops. They lost land and faced diseases and enforced laws under colonization.
The Iroquois lived in what is now northern New York and were
Peoples of the Arctic
The document summarizes the lifestyles and adaptations of various indigenous Arctic peoples, including the Inuit (Eskimo) of North America and Greenland, Aleut of the Bering Strait, and Nganasan of Siberia. It focuses on two Inuit groups: the coastal Tareumiut who live in permanent villages and hunt whales, and the inland Nunamiut who hunt caribou and seals in small family groups. Both groups emphasize family relations and sharing food. The document also discusses the 1922 film Nanook of the North and how it portrayed the lifestyle of an Inuit group similar to the Nunamiut.
Inuit
The document provides background information on the Inuit people. It discusses that the Inuit are indigenous peoples inhabiting Arctic regions of Alaska, Canada, and Greenland. They are descended from the Thule culture and displaced the related Dorset culture. The Inuit speak Inuktitut and rely on hunting marine mammals like seals and walrus for food and materials. They use dogsleds, kayaks, and umiaks for transportation and make clothing from animal skins for protection from the harsh Arctic climate. Marriage customs among Inuit were not strictly monogamous and divorce was sometimes arranged by community elders.
Taino Genocide
The document summarizes the genocide of the Taíno people in Hispaniola following Christopher Columbus' arrival in 1492. It describes the Taíno culture and population of over 8 million. It then details how Columbus enslaved and brutalized the Taíno to force them to pay tribute, reducing the population to 3 million by 1496 through murder, torture, war, and disease. While some argue disease was mainly responsible, the document asserts Columbus and Spanish masters directly massacred many Taíno and deprived others of resources, working many to death. By the time Columbus left in 1504, only around 100,000 Taíno remained, and their culture and people were destroyed.

The document provides an overview of the peopling and early history of North America. It describes how the continents were once joined in a supercontinent called Pangaea before drifting apart. Various groups migrated across a land bridge between Asia and North America around 35,000 years ago to populate the Americas. Corn was domesticated in Mexico around 5,000 BC, allowing for settled farming communities and the rise of early civilizations like the Aztecs, Mayans, and Incas. Europeans began exploring and colonizing the Americas around 500 years ago, bringing both old and new world plants, animals, and diseases, radically transforming the populations and environments of both regions.

A.为什么留学生需要操作留信认证?
留信认证全称全国留学生信息服务网认证,隶属于北京中科院。①留信认证门槛条件更低,费用更美丽,并且包过,完单周期短,效率高②留信认证虽然不能去国企,但是一般的公司都没有问题,因为国内很多公司连基本的留学生学历认证都不了解。这对于留学生来说,这就比自己光拿一个证书更有说服力,因为留学学历可以在留信网站上进行查询!
B.为什么我们提供的毕业证成绩单具有使用价值？
查询留服认证是国内鉴别留学生海外学历的唯一途径但认证只是个体行为不是所有留学生都操作所以没有办理认证的留学生的学历在国内也是查询不到的他们也仅仅只有一张文凭。所以这时候我们提供的和学校颁发的一模一样的毕业证成绩单就有了使用价值。乌龟和王八贼头贼脑的倒也逗人喜爱日上三竿时山娃总爱窜进自家瓜棚里跟小伙伴们坐着聊天聊着聊着便忍不住往瓜田里逡巡一番抱起一只硕大的西瓜用石刀劈开抑或用拳头砸开每人抱起一大块就啃啃得满嘴满脸猴屁股般的红艳大家一个劲地指着对方吃吃地笑瓜裂得古怪奇形怪状却丝毫不影响瓜味甜丝丝的满嘴生津遍地都是瓜横七竖八的活像掷满了一地的大石块摘走二三只爷爷是断然发现不了的即便发现爷爷也不恼反而教山娃辨认孰熟孰嫩孰甜孰淡水
