Uses of the Buffalo
For thousands of years, the First Nations of North America's Plains relied on the buffalo - or bison - for many of the necessities of life. They used every part of the 900 kilogram animal. The Spanish introduced horses to Mexico in the early 1500s and Indigenous people quickly realized how useful horses were, specifically for hunting buffalo. They became expert riders, and were able to hunt buffalo much more efficiently. Europeans began moving West and were using guns in their own efforts to hunt buffalo. By the 1800s, commercial hunters viewed buffalo as a money making commodity and begun killing buffalo to feed the European demand for buffalo hides (blankets and leather). The American government also encouraged the slaughter of buffalo to make way for settlements and farming. In 1800, an estimated 30 million buffalo roamed the North American Plains. A hundred years later this number has dwindled to less than 1000. With buffalo nearly extinct, the way of life that relied on the animal also disappeared.

Using the information from the button links above, and information provided at the beginning of this lesson, fill in the cause and effect organizer provided.
When you finish, share it with your neighbour to see if you missed anything, or can add to another's. Finally, in small groups you are going to make a large cause and effect organizer that demonstrates the process (on chart paper provided). |
Contact and Cultural Change in India
When Queen Elizabeth I of Britain granted the British East India Company a monopoly on trading in India and Asia in 1600, the company's chief interest was in making money through trade. From India, the company imported cotton cloth, tea, and spices, such as pepper, cardamom, ginger, and turmeric. From the company's perspective, the people of India were useful facilitators of this trade.
