For High School students or teachers who wish to study certain perceptions that have remained unchanged in the imagination of the American People using two stories from different points in American History.
W.E.B. Du Bois wrote and published works that brought awareness to racism and inspired African Americans. The document discusses The Crisis newspaper which informed on world events and contained articles and poems. It also mentions Du Bois' novel The Dark Princess which portrayed a character overcoming adversity through prejudice, and his poem "My Country 'Tis of Thee" which expressed his perspective on slavery and encouraged freedom. Additionally, Du Bois conducted research in The Philadelphia Negro to understand oppression of African Americans and find solutions for empowerment.
The document discusses the history of black people in America from slavery through the civil rights movement. It describes how slavery began in 1760 BC and slaves were imported from Africa. The civil war was fought from 1861 to 1865, ending slavery. After the civil war, Jim Crow laws enforced racial segregation until the civil rights movement started challenging unfair treatment of blacks through protests and boycotts in the 1950s and 1960s. Significant people mentioned include President Lincoln, President Truman, Eisenhower, and author Harper Lee who wrote "To Kill a Mockingbird".
The document provides summaries of several authors and their works that will be covered in the upcoming week's readings:
- Edgar Allan Poe is known for his macabre stories and poems and invented the modern short story form. His life was troubled and his works often showed a dark side of the American Dream.
- Robert Frost's poems touch on universal themes and use everyday language. His poem "Mending Wall" challenges traditional ways of thinking about fences and boundaries between cultures.
- Art Spiegelman's graphic novel Maus established comics as a relevant genre and recounted his father's experience in the Holocaust through interviews.
- The selections will also cover works by Henry David Thoreau,
This document summarizes forms of resistance by slaves in the Antebellum period, including rebellions, running away, and day-to-day acts of resistance. It discusses the reasons slaves resisted, such as escaping harsh treatment or reuniting with family members. It describes different types of resistance like feigning illness, slowing work, or arson. It also discusses the experiences of runaway slaves and the dangers they faced if captured. The general strain theory is presented as a framework for understanding how the strains of slavery led slaves to develop coping strategies of resistance.
1) In colonial Virginia, Africans were initially viewed negatively and seen as primitive, but were still used as indentured servants. They were assumed to be captured and sold.
2) Over time, Africans became slaves as laws were passed declaring slave status would be inherited and preventing interracial relationships. Thomas Jefferson owned slaves and profited from their labor and reproduction.
3) Abolition of slavery in the North did not eliminate racism and discrimination against African Americans, who faced barriers to employment, housing, and equal treatment before the law. Racism persisted subtly in practices and social norms.
Father Jacques Marquette and Louis Jolliet explore the Mississippi River by canoe. They encounter various native tribes along the way and observe the landscape and wildlife. They eventually discover a large Illinois village near the river bank, where the chief sends out elders to greet the travelers, who smoke a calumet pipe with them as a sign of friendship.
The document discusses the portrayal of Native Americans in media such as films, cartoons, and television. It notes that Native Americans have been depicted both positively and negatively, with negative stereotypes including lazy alcoholics, and positive stereotypes including being spiritual animal lovers. Specific examples are given of Native American portrayals in films like Peter Pan and Pocahontas, as well as stereotypes seen in cartoons like The Simpsons. The document analyzes how these depictions have shaped public perceptions of Native American culture and people.

Women played important roles during the Civil War despite facing legal restrictions. Sarah Emma Edmonds disguised herself as a man named Franklin Thompson to enlist in the Union Army, becoming a nurse and spy. The United States Sanitary Commission, founded in part by President Lincoln, promoted better health conditions and was led by nurses like Clara Barton. Arabella Rankin of Flint, Michigan founded aid societies that collected and sent supplies to soldiers. Authors like Harriet Beecher Stowe and activists like Susan B. Anthony advocated for abolition and women's rights.
The document summarizes sections from "The Jesuit Relations", which were letters and reports written by Jesuit missionaries in New France (Canada) in the 17th-18th centuries. The Jesuits lived with and sought to convert indigenous peoples while learning their languages and customs. They described the Montagnais people's nomadic hunting lifestyle and spiritual beliefs. They also documented Huron medical practices that treated illness as a spiritual imbalance. The Jesuits served as explorers and recorded encounters with native tribes along the Mississippi River.
Frederick Douglass was born into slavery in 1818. He was sent to live with several different masters, some who were kind and some who were cruel. He taught himself to read and write, despite laws prohibiting slaves from being educated. Douglass escaped from slavery and went on to become a famous abolitionist, author, editor, and speaker. He wrote several books about his life in slavery and campaigned for the rights of African Americans and women. Frederick Douglass died at the age of 77.
This document provides summaries of 14 books recommended for grades 3-5 by the Louisiana Young Readers' Choice program for 2011-2012. The books cover a wide range of genres, including biographies, mysteries, fantasies, historical fiction, and non-fiction. They address topics like the life of a former slave turned U.S. Marshal, a cobbler apprenticed to make a magical shoe, a boy who pretends to be a detective, and the first Moon landing.
The document provides an overview of the Jesuit Relations, which were annual publications by Jesuit missionaries describing their encounters with indigenous peoples in North America. It discusses their interactions with the Montagnais, Huron, and Iroquois tribes, including descriptions of their customs, beliefs, languages, and the Jesuits' efforts to convert them to Christianity. It also touches on how diseases spread differently among the tribes and the Jesuits' focus on medical isolation versus indigenous practices.
Racism and slavery evolved together in British North America in a relationship of mutual causation. Slavery originally had nothing to do with race, as slaves were often the same race as their owners in ancient societies. In the Americas, the Spanish and Portuguese developed racial categories associated with skin color and "blood purity" that reinforced negative stereotypes. Slavery in British North America transitioned from indentured servitude of both black and white laborers to race-based slavery following Bacon's Rebellion in 1676, as elites sought to divide poor whites and blacks. The transatlantic slave trade then fueled the colonial economy, with over 12 million Africans enslaved and transported to the Americas between the 16th-
Indigenous relationships after european settlementadenwyers
The document discusses how Aboriginal relationships with the land changed significantly after white settlement in Gippsland, Australia in the mid-1800s. It estimates the local Aboriginal population declined from around 1800-3000 people to just 96 surviving members within 14 years, due to factors like disease, displacement, violence, and alcohol introduced by European settlers. Aboriginal people faced conflict with settlers as they resisted the loss of their lands and ways of life. Many Aboriginal people were eventually moved to missions like Lake Tyers for protection or concentration.
The document summarizes the Jesuit Relations, which were annual reports written by French Jesuit missionaries in New France (Canada) between 1632 and 1673. The Relations described the missionaries' attempts to convert indigenous peoples like the Iroquoians and Algonquians to Catholicism. While the sources are biased, they provide insights into aboriginal life and customs at the time, such as religious rituals, leadership structures, and explanations for natural phenomena. The missions faced many challenges but saw more success after epidemics decimated native populations in the 1640s.
The Construction of Whiteness in Colonial America- King Philips’ War and Bac...Pietro Moro
King Philip's War and Bacon's Rebellion led to the solidification of whiteness as a social construct in colonial America. King Philip's War began as a dispute over the trial and execution of Native Americans for the killing of a Christianized Native. The war escalated and resulted in the widespread death and displacement of Native Americans. This reinforced the settlers' belief in their divine right to expand over inferior "heathens." It also shifted identity away from socioeconomic status and towards race. Bacon's Rebellion saw poor European indentured servants and Africans unite against the planter class, threatening the racial hierarchy that had newly emerged. Both events contributed to formalizing the legal and social exclusion of non-whites in the colonies.
This document provides summaries of 18 historical fiction novels set in different time periods, ranging from the 1600s to the 1930s. The novels cover a variety of topics including the civil rights movement, slavery, women's suffrage, earthquakes, wars, westward expansion, and more. The Lexile levels provided show that most of the novels fall within the 710-1020 Lexile range, indicating they would be accessible to students at different reading levels.
Emily Keyes wrote a family history project about her great grandmother, Mary Marjorie Susan McGaffin, who immigrated from Newry, Ireland to America between 1907-1910. She settled first in New York and then migrated to rural Nebraska for its similar lifestyle to Ireland, where she farmed. To assimilate, she dropped her Irish accent at school, though remained proud of her Protestant "Orange Irish" heritage. During World War II, her sons joined the war effort and the family migrated to California to be closer to them, traveling in a truck converted into a mobile home. They settled in Pomona, where Emily's grandmother still lives today.
Colonization and Expatriation in Stowe’s Uncle Tom’s CabinJeremy Borgia
"Uncle Tom's Cabin" was wildly successful, selling over a million copies within its first year; yet, despite its success in engendering raucous debate amongst Americans over the issue of slavery, it was—and is still—not without its critics. Criticism of the book has often focused on Stowe’s personal opinions regarding racial equality, and whether they possibly weaken the message and legacy of her book.
This document describes a dream had by Abraham Lincoln in which he saw a catafalque with a corpse wrapped in funeral vestments surrounded by mourning crowds and guards in the White House. When Lincoln demands who has died, a soldier answers "The President, he was killed by an assassin." The crowd then bursts into loud grief, awakening Lincoln from the dream.
This document provides a partial list of over 100 events attended ranging from lectures, movies, cultural celebrations, discussions and performances covering topics such as racism, feminism, indigenous peoples, health care, politics, the Holocaust, LGBTQ+ issues, poverty, the environment and more. The events appear to have been hosted by various student clubs and organizations at a university over multiple years.
Kindred follows Dana, a 26-year-old African American woman living in 1976 California who finds herself transported back in time to 1815 Maryland. There she meets her ancestors, including Rufus, a spoiled white slave owner, and Alice, a proud black freewoman he forces into slavery. Dana's trips to the past become longer as she learns more about the horrors slaves endured. The themes explored include discrimination, violence, race, and the effects of time travel on family histories.

The document provides an introduction comparing the ancient texts "Gilgamesh" and the book of "Job". It summarizes key aspects of each story, including that Gilgamesh goes on a journey seeking immortality after his friend Enkidu dies, while Job endures great suffering and loss as part of a test from God. Both characters change through their journeys - Gilgamesh learns to use wisdom, while Job maintains his faith in God. The document also discusses speech patterns, roles of female characters, and themes of home vs traveling in the two works.
- The document summarizes Chinua Achebe's novel "Things Fall Apart" which depicts Igbo culture in Nigeria in the late 19th century. It discusses how Achebe sought to represent African culture authentically in response to the racist depictions in Joseph Conrad's "Heart of Darkness". It also analyzes some key symbols and themes in "Things Fall Apart" like the Igbo concept of "chi" and how the novel critiques European colonialism and cultural imperialism.

Zinn's A People's History of the United States provides a biased account that aims to correct the romanticized view of Columbus' discovery of America by portraying the negative impacts on Native Americans. Zinn shows bias against Columbus by largely viewing the story from the Native American perspective who saw Columbus initially as beautiful but were later betrayed. He also sides with the plight of Native Americans by portraying them as innocent and the colonizers as ominous strangers. The document analyzes Zinn's use of the "noble savage" myth to stereotype Native Americans.
Zitkála-Šá and Joy Harjo: Major Themes in Indigenous Literature in the United...Kaitlyn Craft
Zitkála-Šá and Joy Harjo both discuss themes of nature, colonialism, and identity in their works. Zitkála-Šá writes about relying on nature and spirits as a Sioux child, and experiencing loss of language and culture when forced to attend boarding school. Joy Harjo also references nature and spirits in her stories about the Mvskoke Nation. Both authors write about the effects of colonialism, including the taking of indigenous lands and the forced assimilation policies of boarding schools that aimed to erase indigenous cultures. Their works explore the resulting struggles with identity and disconnection from home communities.
Native American oral literature was an oral tradition that was not recognized by Western scholars until the late 1800s. Types of oral literature included myths, creation myths, trickster tales, and songs. Stories taught moral lessons and conveyed practical knowledge about nature. Animals and humans were often interchangeable, and origin myths sometimes featured animals as creators. Literature used metaphor, similes, and pictographs. The Iroquois constitution from around 1400 CE was influenced by a vision of cultural ideals of peace. It emphasized feminine traits like nurturing and deemphasized masculine aggression. It also expressed stewardship of the earth and optimism for the future.

This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.

2. In the almost 300 years between colonialization of
what would become the United States of America and
the entrance of the United States into World War II, the
perception of Indigenous peoples had (and still have)
some aspects that did not change. In this presentation
we will explore a few of these perceptions through the
lens of two stories on opposite ends of those 300 years.
3. Three Important Unchanging Perceptions
– Indigenous people are associated with savagery and violence.
– Their perceived savagery is partly based on their close relationship to nature and the wild.
– It is important in the eyes of non-indigenous people to maintain the separation between the
uncivilized (indigenous people) and civilized (non-indigenous people).
4. We will use these two stories to analyze how these
three perceptions have not changed:
THE SOVEREIGNTY AND GOODNESS OF GOD
BY MARY ROWLANDSON
A narrative published in 1682 and written by a Puritan
woman who was captured by indigenous people in
colonial New England
WEEDFLOWER
BY CYNTHIA KADOHATA
A fiction novel detailing the experience of a young
Japanese girl that was interned on a Native American
reservation during WWII
5. The Savagery of Indigenous Peoples
In The Sovereignty and Goodness of God:
• Mary Rowlandson considered herself and her fellow Christians as the civilized ones and referred
to her captors as, “black creatures,” and, “heathens” among other things
• Rowlandson considered their transience as evidence as their uncivility, saying, “so unstable and
like mad men they were.” She also made this obvious in telling her story by notating each
“remove.”
6. The Savagery of Indigenous Peoples
In Weedflower:
• In line with the stereotypes of the time, the main character is warned about the Indians that
are living on the reservation where the interment camp is located: “If they catch us, we’ll get
scalped.”
• One of the Japanese boys picks a fight with an Indian boy because the Indian boy had been
talking with a Japanese girl and the Japanese boy felt he had to protect the girl from the Indian
boy, suggesting that the Indian boy was savage and needed to be protected against.
7. Association of Indigenous People With
Nature and the Wild
In The Sovereign and Goodness of God:
• Rowlandson continually refers to her and her children’s location as being in the wilderness as if
it is the synonymous with living with their Indigenous captors.
• Rowlandson compared the Indians to bears, lions, and hungry wolves.
8. Association of Indigenous People With
Nature and the Wild
In Weedflower:
• Meaning to strike fear into the main character of the book, one of the other characters refers to
the Indians and says, “They’re everywhere,” as if the Indians are meant to be as feared as the
brutal and unknown undeveloped land outside of the camp.
