Quiz for "Peopling of the Americas":
Now that you've seen the Scientific Frontiers program, "Coming Into America," you need to read some more.
There are three major models we'll look at.  The BBC's summary of their program "Stone Age Columbus" explains more on the Salutrean model as seen in the film in class.  Now, you need to think about the other two.  The genetics model is explained in the article,
"Mitochondrial DNA and the Peopling of the NewWorld" by Theodore G. Schurr. 
There are also a number of excellent maps and genetic charts to help you understand the language.
Then there is the old stand-by, the Beringia model.
For your assignment, briefly discuss each model so I can see you understand.  Then, tell me your hypothesis.  Be sure to back up your thinking with the evidence from the articles, your textbook and the film, "Coming Into America."

QUIZ FOR RITES OF PASSAGE PROJECT: KINAALDA Remember the way that I described the wedding on the board in class as a rite of passage? For this assignment, you are going to analyze the Kinaalda Ceremony of the Navajo --Dine-- peoples of the Southwest United States. Be sure to identify all of the parts of a rite of passage. Make your description as detailed as possible.  Use the worksheet handed out in class to complete this project.
