Abby makes an excellent secondary source selection!
I can’t get your links to work – can you post the titles, please?

You get some great ideas from your peers! It might help to focus geographically (at least for your central case study) so you can make a more in-depth analysis. Good, high-quality sources. I like Jaz’s ideas […]

Also, you can think about the primary source evidence contained in material culture: https://americanindian.si.edu/exhibitions/infinityofnations/patagonia/177324.html

I’m having trouble finding an English translation of Vicuña Mackenna’s book, but I’ll keep looking.
Was Crow’s bibliography any help in your search for primary sources?
One more place for good English […]

The Black Squirrel: Merry Mascots in Disguise? The black squirrel is an abundant yet exotic animal that is featured on the college campus of Wooster. One can often see them skittering along […]

-Today we looked at the question of how natural history texts can be looked at as colonial knowledge. First we talked about the Columbian exchange and how it was consequentially harsher on the new world than the […]

I think comparing the views of both parties is very important when researching topics in Latin America since there is often a gap in sources from the indigenous peoples. Comparing rituals and events would also be […]

This is an awesome research idea and seems like it will be fun to research! I would do some background work into what music was like before and after colonialism. Looking at specific instruments could also be […]

I really like this research topic and I think it has important long term effects in modern day Hispanola. I spent a week in high school at a school in the Dominican Republic and one of the things they mentioned to […]

Flowers for Fall I am always so impressed with the grounds crew at this school, and the work that they put into making our campus beautiful. For the past week or […]

Sounds awesome. One thing you could maybe look at is if their music adapted at all when Old World colonists began to settle in the Americas. On the flip side, you could see if New World music had an impact in the Old World.

This seems like a really interesting idea, and I think the implications of this are really improtant. I feel like primary source documents that illustrate the European’s perspective will be really crucial, but I […]

That sounds really interesting. I think that it could also be really cool to study how the natives felt about helping the Spanis and Portuguese after the true effects of the Europeans became clear, and whether or […]

This sounds like a really interesting research idea. I think it will be especially interesting to focus on the effects of how Europeans ideas about food impacted the natives, because that aspect is traditionally […]

This is an awesome idea! Last semester, I got to spend a week and a half with a Mapuche community in a small town called Curarrehue in Chile during a study abroad program and learned so much about their struggle […]

I think one thing you could possibly do is see if mate was not only drank in the New World, but if it ever made its way back to Europe. We hear of many different New World foods, especially crops such as maize, […]

This is awesome! I studied abroad in Chile for a bit last semester, and maté was also a huge thing there because of the influence of a lot of the communities in the Andes. From what I saw, maté was generally d […]

Shoutout geography on this one! I think it would be cool to see if you can find multiple maps from indigenous perspectives seeing what scale of the land they had around them. Cool to compare how these would look […]
