This homework assignment explores the significance of cultural names given to Indigenous Peoples by Europeans upon contact in North America. Students are tasked with creating a chart listing cultural names, their European counterparts, and meanings. The assignment also prompts critical thinking on why Indigenous Peoples prefer their own names and delves into the origins of the term "Indian" as well as storytelling traditions. By examining these elements, students will gain a deeper understanding of Indigenous identities and the importance of maintaining cultural names.
