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.

When they went foraging in the woods Powhatans often harassed them, and coexistence between the two groups was uneasy.” Pg: 69
 
They were on strained terms with the indigenous people, and the Jamestown colony resorted to violence sometimes. Though they wouldn’t had survived if the Powhatan’s hadn’t taught them to survive in the ‘New World’.

A force of soldiers under the command of John Endecott were sent to avenge his death, Endecott attacked some indigenous towns, but there were few casualties. Many townspeople were hiding.” Pg: 72 

Endecott had his soldiers burn houses and food storages, the Pequot’s, fueled by the assault attacked Fort Saybrook and the siege lasted till 1637.

The Powhatan resistance was too strong for just straight storming their settlements, so the British had to resort to irregular warfare. This method meant that once the Powhatans had run out of stored food they would either have to fight back superior British command or leave.]]> 2021-09-21 19:13:43 UTC https://padlet.com/darshanpani/mdpfbt1zrw9q9ky/wish/1758205385 darshanpani https://padlet.com/darshanpani/mdpfbt1zrw9q9ky/wish/1758205386 “ 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 Rangers were a legendary force of brutal killers, theses rangers would be key in the British Invasion of Florida. The importance of these rangers went up in the next decade, as they were used to attack indigenous peoples and defend from enemy attack.]]> 2021-09-21 19:13:43 UTC https://padlet.com/darshanpani/mdpfbt1zrw9q9ky/wish/1758205386 darshanpani https://padlet.com/darshanpani/mdpfbt1zrw9q9ky/wish/1758205387 “ British found that the Cherokee Nation was an extremely powerful ally to the French. In October 1759, the North Carolina governor presented a  strategy that the British would use against the Cherokee:..” Pg: 75

The British command was wary of the Cherokee’s strength so they added three hundred rangers, forty local militia members and 50 native allies to their troops. After attacking a good sized Cherokee town and setting fire to all the buildings. The British laid waste to many other towns, until the Cherokee could muster up enough people to launch a resistance. The resistance was strong enough to lay siege to many British Forts. One year passed and the British struck back even harder, taking the capital, Etchoe. They laid fourteen hundred acres of corn fields ablaze and destroyed fifteen more towns.]]> 2021-09-21 19:13:43 UTC https://padlet.com/darshanpani/mdpfbt1zrw9q9ky/wish/1758205387 darshanpani https://padlet.com/darshanpani/mdpfbt1zrw9q9ky/wish/1758205388 “ ‘Could it not be contrived,’ Amherst wrote to a subordinated officer, to send the Small Pox among those disaffected tribes of Indians? We must, on this occasion use every stratagem in our power to reduce them.’” Pg:68

Amherst is a strategy of burning food supplies and houses so the natives couldn’t come back any time soon. His strategy of irregular warfare meant that his men stole or burned food supplies the natives had been collecting.]]> 2021-09-21 19:13:43 UTC https://padlet.com/darshanpani/mdpfbt1zrw9q9ky/wish/1758205388 darshanpani https://padlet.com/darshanpani/mdpfbt1zrw9q9ky/wish/1758205389 “  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” Pg: 79

The settler’s ignored this and began to settle into the Shawnee Nation’s farmland and hunting grounds. The Shawnee responded to this in 1774,  attacking the settlers’s houses and elimination of land surveyors. The settlers immediately responded to this by attacking, raiding, and slaughtering the Shawnees’ people.]]> 2021-09-21 19:13:43 UTC https://padlet.com/darshanpani/mdpfbt1zrw9q9ky/wish/1758205389 darshanpani https://padlet.com/darshanpani/mdpfbt1zrw9q9ky/wish/1758205394 “By 1779 General George Washington ordered a preemptive action against the Haudenosaunee.
