This is a good
posting from a Elementary-history-teacher from Georgia with little hands on
experience about my people, not bad Lisa Cooper.
Remember, back in
the 40s, 50s, and 60s when I was going to school there was a 'ton' of
information on my people, then along came the
"New Age Casino
Indians," and things strangely disappeared?
So she did her
homework with what was still around in schools and so on.
No, to copper
because our people live in the New England Cold Land.
I do not write about
our wars because I hate war, plus no one has ever asked me?
13 Things About the
Pequot War
While most state
standards state students should be familiar with the relationship between
European colonists and Native Americans very few students ever really receive
an adequate background regarding the interactions between colonists and
natives. Perhaps it is because the standards…..and I’m basically referring to
Georgia standards……only mention the interaction not specific interactions such
as the Pequot War.
I wish more teachers
would spend a little of time discussing the Pequot War since it is one of the
first major interactions between colonists and Native Americans. While it is
mentioned in many of today’s textbooks being used in lower middle grade classrooms
the war is not generally covered at an adequate level and it is usually grouped
with King Phillip’s War which occurred almost thirty years after the Pequot
War.
