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.

"They were among the first Indigenous peoples on the Eastern Seaboard to experience what can accurately be called an invasion of European colonizers. 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 colonizers of Jamestown could not have survived without the help of the Indigenous people. They were unsuccessful with growing crops and hunting.

"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. This practice of taking and displaying the heads of enemies was a part of European military tradition." pg. 67

The officials did not like how the Indigenous people were not allowing them on their land and not helping out their colonies. They did this so that they could eliminate all of the Indigenous people and take everything that they had.

"Unable to eliminate the Indigenous population through open warfare, the British eventually launched a campaign of systematic destruction of the Powhatan agricultural resources. This series of raids against Indigenous fields and villages is sometimes called the Tidewater War (1644-1646), although it was not really a war but a series of attacks with the goal of starving the people out of the area." pg. 71

The British wanted the land that the Powhatan had. They wanted to colonize and grow their empire on it. The Powhatan however didn't leave and just kept fighting them for their land.

"From the time the settlers first squatted on Indigenous land in the Southeast, rangers were in the forefront of genocide, clearing the region for British settlement as they had in New England. When the British established the colony of Georgia in 1732, its commander, General James Oglethorpe, commissioned a Scots Highlander, Hugh Mackay Jr., to organize and train his small regular army to become a Highland Ranger force." pg. 74

The Georgia Colony wasn't really an entire colony. It was more of an army base and grounds. The commander hired an elite guy who knew a ton about warfare. This man was tasked with turning the commander's men into highly trained rangers.

"In the French and Indian War (1754-1763), the British found that the Cherokee Nation was an extremely powerful ally to the French. In October 1759, the North Carolina governor presented the strategy that the British would use against the Cherokee:..." pg. 75

The people who lived in the newly developed United States also wanted the land that the Indigenous people had. They were doing whatever they could in order to take that land from them. North Carolina helped the British by proposing the plan that would make that happen.

"For example, Major General Jeffery Amherst, who commanded the British army in the Seven Years War (1756-1763) is best known for his support of using germ warfare against Indigenous peoples." pg. 68

When the British found out that the Indigenous people would outnumber them and were stronger than them, they cheap. The Major General spread many diseases throughout the tribes of the Indigenous people to try and kill them off. He used Small Pox as a main one.

"In 1763 King George III of England declared that no British subjects should settle on Indigenous lands in the Ohio Country west of a proclamation line. This action angered both settlers who wanted to move into that region and the land speculators who sought to profit from selling land there." pg. 79-80

This is a good idea by the King of England. He is helping the Indigenous people in many ways by doing this. The only reason that the people wanted their land is so they could sell it and become rich. Just to become wealthy they were willing to take lives of others.

"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... Sullivan replied, 'The Indians shall see that there is malice enough in our hearts to destroy everything that contributes to their support." pg. 85

What the Major General is saying is that the United States will destroy anything and everything that they have if they do not agree to give us some of their land. This is a major threat coming from the United States and if the Indigenous people don't accept, everything they have will be destroyed. (So the US says)
