I have been asked to answer these two questions and can't really come up with any significant responses. Any help finding some topics to write about would be greatly appreciated.
1.Across the early moder world, the movement of people and creation of new communities created people who lived "in between" or who crossed between groups. Address the experiences and significance of three specific individuals.
-So what I'm really asking with this prompt is what three individuals could I really focus on? I thought of Roger Williams but I'm not sure if he's even a strong example.
2. Describe two instances in which native populations controlled interactions with Western Europeans.
-Again, I can only really think of the Plymouth Colony and this is, again, not too strong of an example.
Any ideas?
Thank you
@tcook215,
Sor question two, Id look a little further south than MAss Bay
@tcook215,
How about folks like Daniel Boone? Or, Davy Crocket if you aren't restricted to the 18th century. Frontiersmen and traders would be your best bet.

The classic examples would be Tisquantum (aka Squanto), Pocahontas and John Smith. Do you need people less famous?
Another such example would be James Cook and Omai.

There was a couple of Europeans of that time, an Irishman and a Englishman who were adopted into the Six Nation Iroquois... I have loaned those books without return... Cadwallider Colden, I think was the name of the Englishman, and he wrote a history of them, sort of... The Irishman's name escapes me, but they are still trying to get back some of the land he sold off from under them...
@Green Witch,
yes perhaps some people a little less famous, but just as significant. if there are any
@Green Witch,
What about the Lewis and Clark expedition, and Sacagawea? Actually weren't there even more examples in the Lewis and Clark expedition, like didn't they need to stay with a group of Native Americans in the Dakotas overwinter?
Also - what about Mary Jemison?

Something tells me you're not from the Midwest. If you were, you'd know about the interactions between the American Indians and the settlers.
Imagine riding a stagecoach through snow drifts and a temp of below zero degrees. Imagine not changing your long-johns during the whole Winter...
