Critical of arrival of europeans: led to halocaust or genocide for native americans. Conservative put the population numbers low so they wouldn"t have to explain about the halocaust or genocide . Animals horses, sheep, goats, cows, pigs, chickens: horses were very important, they brought rats by accident because the rats were on the ships. Crops wheat, barley, oats, fruits, sugar cane: dandelions brought over within the seeds, also something else that a lot of people are allergic to. Native language was changed after europe came over. They moved south/ encountered ojibwe enemies dakota. They couldn"t understand nadouesu so they shortened it to.
