Austronesian Migration

In the early 16th century, Portuguese explorer Ferdinand Magellan named the largest ocean in the world ‘O Mar Pacífico’ meaning peaceful sea. What Magellan didn’t know is that his arrival would mark a fateful new era for the inhabitants of the pacific and forever disrupt whatever peace they had before. In “The Other One-Third of the Globe,” anthropologist Ben Finney explains the history the habitation of the Pacific islands. He looks at the complete human history of the islands, not just the colonial period, which was unusual but very refreshing.

The migration of European settlers and culture to North America is an often examined area. One aspect of this, however, is worthy of deeper analysis. The conquest of North America by Europeans and American settlers from the 16th to 19th centuries had a profound effect on the indigenous political landscape by defining a new relationship dynamic between natives and settlers, by upsetting existing native political, economic and military structures, and by establishing a paradigm where the indigenous peoples felt they had to resist the European and American incursions. The engaging and brilliant works of Andres Rensendez and Steve Inskeep, entitled respectively “A Land So Strange” and “Jacksonland”, provide excellent insights and aide to this analysis.

There is, however, much debate as to when the first Asian peoples migrated to North America. Modern research has revealed that during the height

Without The Great Migration, or the migration of African Americans from 1915 to 1970 from the south to the north, the north would have suffered economically (Wilkerson 8). Specifically, without the Great Migration, the north would have faced extensive job shortages, that would have eventually led to economic turmoil. One cause of The Great Migration was the need for southern African Americans to take industrial jobs in the north. Furthermore, during times of war, many men were removed from the workforce, meaning that the north needed additional workers to fill the now vacated spots. (The Great) The north needed the southern African Americans in order to fill these slots, and without them, the north’s economy would have suffered

As mentioned by Calloway in the beginning of the “Documents” section, it is important to consider that historians often disregard stories due to their lack of understanding and that these stories can provide insight into the lives of individuals who lived through certain times in history. As pointed out by Leslie Marmon Silko, origin stories should not be taken as fact. I think that viewpoint supports the idea of possible migrations.

African American’s somewhat silent non war revolution of migration to the North and Midwest of the United States which started roughly in 1915. The Great Migration of African American’s was sparked by work labor shortages during World War I. Until this point of mass relocation to the north and west, the majority of African Americans have primarily resided in rural areas of the south. Thousands of opportunities arose in large urban cities and towns across the Northern and Western United States. This migration is also said to have sparked the civil rights movements as well as shaped sports and music. These opportunities and the

The modern origins of these islands start not from the migration of the Asian people from other various islands, but with the discovery by an Englishmen named Captain Cook. With his ship, The Resolution, as well as The Discovery; Cook stumbles upon the islands of Kauai and Oahu on January 18, 1778. The exchange of goods amongst the native Hawaiians showed promise, but this barter and friendly spirit did not last; as on his second visit to the islands in 1779 was unfortunate timing which led to his death . Following Cook’s death there was a period of migration to the Hawaiian Islands which started when some of the crew from Cook’s ships decided to stay behind.

We were weeding and cutting trees at Hālawa Valley to walk up to see the pohaku. I learned how Native Hawaiians took care of their land, mālama ‘āina, and how they live together with the nature sources. Even the pohaku with carvings, as Native Hawaiian people did not carve the shape, but they carved additional parts. For instance, when Native Hawaiian people found the pohaku, which shape is similar to Kū, they added Kū’s hat and eye, which are missed. When they found the turtle shaped pohaku, they added eye to complete the shape. Native Hawaiian people did not cut down all the trees, but rather cut some, so that the plants don’t get overgrown. However, this sacred place got ruined by building H3. H3 divided sacred birth place for Native

World War I, also known as The Great War, started in 1914 after the assassination of Archduke Ferdinand and his wife. There were 2 sides to the war, the Allied powers and the Central Powers. The U.S. joined the war, in 1917, after Germany sunk British and French ships with U.S. passengers on it. While America was at war, blacks moved up North, started the Harlem Renaissance, and created racial pride, even though they weren’t treated well (Great).
