Successors
Common misconceptions
  • Anchoring local history in 1492 or in the year of European arrival rather than in time-immemorial Indigenous presence (the timeline is LEFT-anchored in time immemorial)
  • Treating a date as a single event ignoring layers (multiple things were happening at once in the same place)
  • Confusing decade with century (10 vs 100 years)
