If s/he misses, no point is granted to your team.

7. Rules of this extreme sport There are bonus questions throughout the game. Anyone, on either team, may answer. I will subtract points from your team if anyone complains, “oh that’s too easy” (or anything like that) when the other team gets asked a question In order for a shot to count, the shooter must be wearing the team’s headband in some fashion

10. Fauxkooshketball: Native American Unit Why was the Chicago World’s Fair called “the Columbian Exposition”? It was held in 1893, one year after the quadri-centennial (400 year anniversary) of Columbus’ historic “discovery”.

Fauxkooshketball: Native American Unit In his journal, Columbus wrote the following description of the natives whom he encountered, “it seemed to me that they were a people very deficient in everything”. What does Columbus mean by this statement? They had no significant weapons, clothes or items of value to trade with Columbus’ men.

12. Fauxkooshketball: Native American Unit Name two accusations made against Columbus’ men regarding their involvement in the murder of the Tainos Indians. • They did the dirty work (raped women, cut hands off Tainos who didn’t deliver enough gold, whipped Tainos who didn’t work hard enough in the mines); • (2) They could have said no (priests like de las Casas refused to mistreat Indians and spoke out about it)

13. Fauxkooshketball: Native American Unit Name two accusations made against the System of Empire regarding its involvement in the murder of the Tainos Indians. • It was the fault of a system that valued property over people • (2) European system only saw white Christians as full human beings (so it was okay to take them as slaves)

14. Fauxkooshketball: Native American Unit Name two accusations made against Columbus regarding his involvement in the murder of the Tainos Indians. • He kidnapped Indians on his first voyage back to Spain • (2) he made it clear that his only goal was to find gold and demanded that Tainos collect gold for him (and if they did not, he demanded that their hands be chopped off) • (3) ordered his men to “spread terror” among the Tainos when there were rumors of resistance

15. Fauxkooshketball: Native American Unit Bonus Q: Father de las Casas wrote of the story of Friar Antonio de Montesinos, who publicly declared in a sermon that he “was a voice crying in the desert” and told the people of his church that “it is time for you to open your hearts”. What was his sermon designed to accomplish? To convince the Spaniards that it was not right to kill all the Indians.

16. Fauxkooshketball: Native American Unit Name two accusations made against King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella regarding their involvement in the murder of the Tainos Indians. • they rewarded Columbus when he returned to Spain with kidnapped Indians – they could have told Columbus to stop the kidnapping • (2) when Columbus wrote that the Indians would make excellent slaves, they did nothing to indicate that this was not proper behavior • (3) they took no action to stop the Indians from being forced to work in the mines;

17. Fauxkooshketball: Native American Unit Name two accusations made against the Tainos regarding their involvement in the murder of their fellow Tainos. • They didn’t kill Columbus and his men before they returned to Spain • (2) They were 2000 Spaniards (at the most) and hundreds of thousands of Tainos – it would have been an easy effort to wipe them out.

18. Fauxkooshketball: Native American Unit Bonus Question: King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella agreed to find Columbus’ voyage in April, 1492, just weeks after they demanded that which group had to leave Spain (under the penalty of death)? The Jews (as part of the Spanish Inquisition)

19. Fauxkooshketball: Native American Unit What were Native Americans’ beliefs about selling land that created huge misunderstandings when negotiating with European settlers? Native Americans believed that no individual or group owned the land and therefore no one could buy it or own it.

21. Fauxkooshketball: Native American Unit What argument did Pratt use to convince Spotted Tail to allow his tribe’s children to attend the Carlisle School?

23. Fauxkooshketball: Native American Unit How did Pratt use the “before” and “after” photos of the Carlisle students? As proof that the students could be civilized … that the wild Indians could be transformed into white students.

24. Fauxkooshketball: Native American Unit How were the values taught at Carlisle different from Native American values? Carlisle teachers taught students to be competitive and to focus on individual success. Native culture focused on people working together for the success of the group or community.

25. Fauxkooshketball: Native American Unit What was the “outing” system and what was it designed to accomplish?

32. Fauxkooshketball: Native American Unit How did AIM’s “Trail of Broken Treaties” march on Washington change the image and reputation of the group?
