Human Geo

Today in human geo we learned about Chris Columbus, Native Americans and Vikings. The native americans were here first when they crossed from Russia into the USA and there was a lot of respect for the land and they treated it as if it was not there's. They came 14,300 years ago. That's a long time ago!  Then came the Vikings. They did not see much interest in the land only lived there for a couple of years. They set up trade post and docs to import and export goods. They also took great care of the land. Then came Christopher Columbus and he was a mean guy on a mission. He did do a great job but he was a nasty guy. He did not like the natives, he killed people and raped women. He was there multiple times so it had to be terrible when he was there. Why do we even celebrate Christopher Columbus day when he was a very evil man.
