NO ONE IS HELPING ME PLEASE IM FINNA CRY I SWEAR I BEGGING YOU PLZ NO COPY AND PASTEING PLEASE We don’t know how the bone of a cow, a European domesticated animal, wound up mingled with other more traditional Munsee household refuse here [Clason’s Point, the Bronx] and at other sites in the city. The meat could have been given, bought, or stolen, or the livestock could have been raised by the community. Written accounts suggest all of these possibilities.

No matter how the meat got here, this seemingly insignificant find underscores the profound and irrevocable economic and ecological changes taking place not only here but throughout seventeenth-century coastal New York. As the colonial settlements grew, Dutch and English farms began expanding more and more into Munsee territory. The colonists cut down forests for lumber, cleared fields, planted European crops, and grazed European animals. These practices radically altered local ecosystems and destroyed the habitats of many of the animals that the Munsees had traditionally hunted and the plants on which they had depended.

Compounding these changes was the tense political climate in the mid-seventeenth century. Not only did the wars take energies away from economic activities, but Munsee and Dutch also destroyed each others’ crops as part of conflicts. As a result, the Munsees had to find new strategies to get food and to deal with their rapidly changing natural world, which they were now sharing with the colonists. This piece of cow bone, then, is evidence of the dramatic changes in the economy and landscape that were taking place throughout the world.

QUESTIONS:

What was the main idea of Ecological and Demographic Impact of the Columbian Exchange Resources, The Changing Landscape?

Main Idea:

Who:

What:

Where/When:

Why:

About every civilization on earth was profoundly influenced by the Columbian Trade, introducing devastating diseases that depopulated many societies, and also circulating a large range of new crops and animals that expanded rather than reduced the world's human population in the long run.

Many habitats have been ruptured by colonization, taking in new species while killing some. The Europeans carried with them many diseases that decimated the populations of Native Americans. Similarly, explorers and Native Americans looked at new plants as potential medical resources.

The introduction to the Old World of New World foods, such as potatoes and maize, was a beneficial result of the Columbian trade. The enslavement of African peoples and the exchange of illnesses between the Old and New Worlds became a big negative consequence.

dear friend:

  i hope this letter finds you in soaring spirits and vibrant health. as you had expressed the wish to know about culture, traditions, and unity of india in your previous letter, in the following lines i have tried my best to give you glimpses of our culture, traditions, and unity. you will be amazed to know that our culture is the oldest culture in the world and the birth place of hinduism, buddhism, jainism, and sikhism. you won’t find any other culture as varied and multi-colored, multi-lingual as ours. each region has its own unique culture, traditions, language. there are 22 official languages in india.

  basically, india is a spiritual country with orthodox traditions. for example the people of india believe in traditions set by their wise forefathers. arranged marriages, joint-family system, universal brotherhood, vegetarianism, celebrating festivals such as diwali, holi, eid, etc., are the salient features of our culture and traditions.

  another unique aspect about our country is ‘unity in diversity’. in spite of the multi-lingual, multi-religious, multi-traditional, multi-cultural society, people live peacefully together, respecting one another’s views, cultures, traditions, and differences. i am sure you would love to visit india soon, and have a first-hand experience of the multi-colored culture. give regards to uncle and aunt. do visit india with your family and experience our hospitality.

your friend,
