• Summarize the early development of the indigenous population of America. Be sure to include their origin, methods of survival, domestication, innovations, trade, settlements, and other important elements in your response.
• Which three (3) elements did you find interesting? Provide a rationale your response.

Be sure to:

• Make a robust reply to demonstrate understanding of the topic (approx. 200 words or more)
• Cite the sources you use to help you answer the question
• Answer in your own words and identify any phrases copied from a source by placing them in quotation marks and citing (should only be a small portion of your reply – majority should be in your own words)
• Reply to at least one other person in the thread with a substantive comment that demonstrates your own knowledge of the topic and moves the discussion forward.  Strive to go above and beyond and respond to even more!
