Zachary Milko commented on the post, The Truth of the Aztec Religion, on the site Colonial Latin America 6 years, 3 months ago

This topic is one that could lead to a lot of interesting discovery. Religion seems to often define a culture and how it developed and Aztec beliefs would be especially intriguing to follow and see how it shaped […]

The American Dagger Moth Caterpillar While walking along the trail of Brown’s Lake Bog, I came upon an exciting discovery. A large caterpillar lay on it’s back in the middle of the […]
Brooks Holcomb commented on the post, The Truth of the Aztec Religion, on the site Colonial Latin America 6 years, 3 months ago

I think this is a great research topic, because I’ve always wondered about the reality of the Aztec religion in particular, since in a lot of modern and historical descriptions it’s depicted as excessively violent […]

I like this idea a lot. I think it would be really interesting to contemplate the motivations behind native peoples aiding the Spanish and Portugese in their colonial ambitions, and how well they understood the […]
Brooks Holcomb commented on the post, Sources and Ideas, on the site Colonial Latin America 6 years, 3 months ago

I think this is a really cool idea. I’d definitely be interested to see the evolution of how maps of the Americas evolved as more land was ‘discovered’ by Europeans, and how it advanced to include the larger land […]

One thing that you could possibly look at is the past relationships of the Aztecs and those native people that helped the Spanish. There could be a possible hatred between the two groups, or maybe the natives that […]

Furry Friend I was walking on the path next to Stevenson, between Armington and the Douglass parking lot. My friend and I were on our way to her car. I had […]

Tulip Tree I was walking behind Bornhuetter Hall when I found some strange shaped leaves on the ground. I looked up to find the source: a tall deciduous […]

Very interesting post! I appreciate the explanation of the genetic mutation that gave rise to these cute critters, as well as the source at the end!

Black SquirrelsBefore I came to Wooster, I only thought squirrels were brown or gray. I was intrigued when I first stepped foot on campus at the enormous […]

This is a very interesting topic. Music is not really studied a lot in history and it would be really interesting to see what effects music has had on historical events.
Andrew S commented on the post, The Truth of the Aztec Religion, on the site Colonial Latin America 6 years, 3 months ago

This is a very interesting topic. I think because majority of the accounts of the time are European there is some history lost to time about what happened. The Aztec religious practices are very interesting […]

Common Eastern BumblebeeI was walking from the gym and was in between Douglas and Stevenson when I saw a bumblebee. The poor little guy was actually walking along the […]
Emma Cotter commented on the post, Revised Research, on the site Colonial Latin America 6 years, 3 months ago

I think that this is going to make a really interesting presentation! I think that it could be really cool to look into the differences between Catholic orders, and how they may/may not have approached teaching […]
Emma Cotter commented on the post, Research: Tenochtitlan as the center of commerce, on the site Colonial Latin America 6 years, 3 months ago

I think that it could be really interesting for you to specifically look at different maps of Tenochitlan and Chiconaulta to see how they are positioned within the maps–whether they are the main focus of maps […]
Emma Cotter commented on the post, Updated Research Question, on the site Colonial Latin America 6 years, 3 months ago

Hi Abby! I think that your topic looks really interesting, and I’m excited to learn more about it. I’m wondering if you’ve considered trying to find a specific Andean woman who lived in a convent to look into. I […]

In the nation of Haiti, protests have been going on for months calling for the country’s President Jovenel Moise to resign. These protests are happening for many reasons. The problems H […]
