Columbus Day Research Paper
I got 4 out of 10 correct.
Yes, I was very surprised to read the information or history. I was surprised because in schools we are not exposed to the Native American history as we should be.

After 7th grade, I have not heard much about Native American history so I do not know many stereotypes of Native
