First, remake this timeline for your own use. As you read chapters 4 in An Indigenous Peoples' History, add textual evidence and information about the dates mentioned in the chapters. Don't worry about overly general dates-for example-"from the early 1600s to the late 1700s. . . "  Include specific information about the event/people mentioned in the date and include the impact the event/person had on Indigenous peoples. Be specific with nation names when possible.
See my example for 1620. You may also leave personal thoughts, wonderings, or questions with your entries.  Also feel free to include pictures or original drawings (if you're so inspired) to enhance the visual component of the timeline.

- “The site where the British chose to build Jamestown in 1607 was located on Powhatan territory in what the British called the Colony of Virginia. Pg 69.

The Jamestown colonizers were not good at farming or hunting, and they were harassed by the Powhatans when they tried to search for food. They maintained peace by negotiating and trading, but be again fighting why the food was low.

"The Europeans who came ashore on Cape Cod in November of 1620 carried a view of the world that was based on the teachings of Christian religious reformer John Calvin." pg. 50

Calvinists believed that they were destined and justified by their god to take over lands belonging to Indigenous peoples.

“During the Pequot War (1636-1638), Connecticut and Massachusetts colonial officials began offering bounties for the heads of murdered Indigenous people.” Pg 67.

Taking and displaying heads was a European military tradition, but was
changed to bounties just for scalps because it was easer to carry.
The affect it had was that the Indigenous people were intimidated or eradicated meaning that the groups of indigenous people would leave or be killed.

“Unable to eliminate the indigenous population through open warfare, the British eventually launched a campaign of systematic destruction of the Powhatan agricultural resources. Pg 71.

The series of attacks against indigenous fields and villages called the Tidewater war  (1644–1646), it wasn’t really a war it was a plain to starve people and get them out of the area they were in. I wonder what ways they tried to take down the villages and fields?

“When the British established the Colony of Georgia in 1732, its commander, General James Oglethorpe, commissioned a Scots Highlander, Hugh Mackey Jr., to organize and train his small regular army to become a Highland Ranger force.” Pg 74

The Highland Ranger force were strong and merciless fighters and were essential to the British invasions of Florida against the Spanish. The affect is that indigenous villages were looted burnt and scalped.

“ In the French and Indian war (1754–1763), the British found that the Cherokee nation was extremely powerful ally did the French. In October 1759, the North Carolina governor presented the strategy that the British would use against the Cherokee:” Pg 75

The British strategy was to send 300 Rangers, 40 local militia members, and 50 native people to their total attack. The first thing the British were going to attack was a Cherokee town of about 200 homes and 2000 people. They were ordered to set homes on fire, and  take away people who tried to run away. Though the natives were able to lay siege to British forts. A year later the British came back even harder, taking away 15 towns and burning hundreds of acres of corn. The impact this had on the Native Americans was that over 5000 people were left as refugees and many deaths happened and many still remained uncounted.

For example, Major General Jeffrey Amherst, who commanded the British army in the seven years war (1756)–(1763) is best known for support of using germ warfare against indigenous peoples.

Armies militias and Rangers know that taking indigenous peoples land away would be easier if they destroyed food supplies in towns. The British would use a strategy of setting the surroundings of the town fire, while attacking it so people who try to flee would be trapped or get burned. They would destroy fields and took food, burn seeds people have stored overtime. The effect this has on the indigenous was that they would go homeless in their own homelands.

In 1763 King George the Third of England declared that no British subjects should settle on indigenous lands in the Ohio country west of a “proclamation line”. This action agreed both sellers who wanted to move into that region and the land speculators who sought to profit from selling land there. Pg 79.

Despite of the proclamation line squatters moved into the Idaho country, moving into the farmlands and hunting grounds of the Shawnee Nation. The Shawnee were upset and responded to the people that were moving into the land by raiding settlements and expelling land surveyors. After the settlers responded with 150 Virginian rangers set out to destroy Shawnee towns.  A militia was also instructed to invade the Ohio valley instructing them to “destroy Shoshone towns in provisions to distress them in every other way that is possible.” In the end they signed a peace agreement which gave up most of their autonomy and territory they used for hunting grounds.

- “By 1779 General George Washington ordered preemptive action against the Haudenosaunee he dictated to Alexander Hamilton a letter to be sent to Major General John Sullivan. His orders were: To overrun but destroyed… you will not by any means, listen to any overture of peace before the total ruins of their settlements is effected… our future security will be in there in ability to injure us… and in the terror with which the severity of the chastisement they receive inspired them.”

With this evidence shows that the founding fathers of America Mission was to completely exterminate and remove the  indigenous population from the new world. The effects his had on the indigenous people were that their farms and food supply were all burnt down,  people who try to flee were scalped.
