In the Modoc creation story, the “youngest daughter” of the Chief of the Sky Spirits gets pulled out of the volcano by the wind, while doing a task for her father. However, her father never goes out looking for her. This shows that the Chief of the Sky Spirits doesn’t value his daughter,

Since Christopher Columbus throughout the 19th century, Indians have been treated extremely unjustly in history. Many have been massacred, manipulated to go against each other, robbed of their own land, cheated out of unreliable promises, and the most tribes got kicked out. Indians were moved a variety of times when gold was discovered on their land or the Europeans just wanted the land for agriculture and conquer more territory. Ironically, many white people during these times called them savages

I found three main ideas in the article that I feel that

The Lasting Effects of the Columbian Exchange During the Age of Discovery It should no longer come as any great surprise that Columbus was not the first to discover the Americas--Carthaginians, Vikings, and even St. Brendan may have set foot on the Western Hemisphere long before Columbus crossed the Atlantic. But none of these incidental contacts made the impact that Columbus did. Columbus and company were bound to bring more than the benefits of Christianity and double entry bookkeeping to
