Today in Human Geo class we did the class presentations about Christopher Columbus, Vikings, and Native Americans. I took notes from the three presentations, excluding the presentation my group did on Vikings. I learned that the Native Americans came to America by a land bridge between Asia and Alaska. They came to America between 12 thousand years ago to 17 thousand years ago. The Native Americans were the first people to arrive in North America so no other cultures were present and they did not have to fight for any land until the Europeans and other nations came years later. The Native Americans took good care of the land. They even had a strong spiritual connection with the land. I also took notes on Christopher Columbus. They notes included that Christoper Columbus arrived in North American on October 12, 1491 in present day Bahamas. He arrived by three ships: The Nina, The Pinta, and Santa Maria. They did conquer the Americans, taking the land away from the Native Americans. Christopher Columbus and the other Europeans did not respect that land or the people on the land.
