Communism Statement

I plan to examine the introduction of European plants and animals to the North American landscape. I’m particularly interested in exploring how the indigenous tribes of North America reacted both positively and negatively to these changes. I plan on researching whether or not the natives found these animals sacred, used them for food, used them for technology like clothing and building material, and how many diseases these animals brought. Using the work of Virginia Anderson’s “Chickwallop and the Beast,” Linda Smith’s, “Decolonizing Methodologies,” and other sources I will suggest that bringing these animals across the sea, forever shaped America as we know it today.
