Use the multi-path framework carried from G2-Spring.

Successors
Common misconceptions
  • Treating settlement as a single-group story (multiple layered groups - all must be named honestly)
  • Skipping the involuntary-migration layer where applicable (Great Migration; enslaved-peoples descendants)
  • Treating immigrant arrivals as past-only (continuing arrivals are part of today's story)
