Document Summary
Ice ages epistemologies of belonging (ways that we know things) indigenous people came over the land bridge during last ice age. Major event in the world/north america over past 100 000 years. Archealogical evidence there are stories about ice and water being prevalent, but no direct story about crossing a land/ice bridge. Clovis drove megafauna into extinction: promoted until end of 20th century, recent find have proven this not to be true. Sunnyvale california found oldest remains in north america: remains an anomalie and cannot be dated, so isolated in time. Yukon: 40 000 years ago humans inhabited hunting sites, artifacts similar to ones found in siberia. Meadowcroft: technologies distinctly different from clovis society. Pollun from this type of corn shows up in mexican plateaus: is an anomolie, people were located on plateaus of mexico and messing around with agriculture. Buttermilk creek: before clovis by 4000 years. Anthropology and archeology have always been outside indigenous practices.
