Objective:
Summarize the effects the arrival of Islam had in creating
Muslim states in west Africa.
The town of Jenne (Djenne) was founded between 800 and 1250
A.D. The city became an important site of Islamic religion and
scholarship. The city's first Islamic king, Koi Konboro, constructed its
first Great Mosque, of adobe, in the thirteenth century. Although the
original structure no longer stands, this remarkable adobe mosque
shown above was rededicated in its place around 1906–7.

CH. 15, Sec. 2:
Objective:
Describe how Sundiata advanced Mali.
The griots of West Africa still tell the 700 year old story of a sickly boy named
Sundiata, who grew up to become a great warrior, expelled a brutal warrior, and
united the Mandinka people. In 1235. Sundiata became mansa, or king, of a new
empire that we know today as Mali. Mali means “where the king resides.”
Sundiata proved himself a great warrior, but he was less interested in power than in
once again making West Africa a safe place to travel and trade. He converted to
Islam, but only as a gesture of goodwill to the merchants and traders. To his own
people, Sundiata presented himself as a champion of traditional West African
religion.

CH. 15, Sec. 2:
Objective:
Describe how
Mansa Musa
advanced Mali.
Mansa Musa captured the attention of the Arab world when he left his home in the West African
kingdom of Mali to make a pilgrimage to Mecca in 1324. Unlike his grandfather Sundiata, Mansa
Musa was a devout Muslim and like all faithful Muslims made a hajj, or holy visit, to the city of
Mecca. Mansa Musa was a very rich king. He was said to have taken more than 500 people with
him on the hajj, each carrying a staff of solid gold. The appearance of a wealthy king from a
faraway land made a deep impression on the people he encountered, causing Mali to appear on
maps throughout the Middle East and Europe. For the first time, sub-Saharan Africa became well
known north of the Sahara Desert for the first time.

North America.

CH. 16, Sec. 1:
Objective:
Describe various regional cultures
of pre-Columbian North America.
Perhaps in a response to Mesoamerican influences from Mexico, the Anasazi began to
turn away from the nomadism of ancient hunting-gathering life and the material poverty
imposed by the limitations of what nomads can carry on their backs. They began living
in small hamlets. They broke the land and took up agriculture. Over time, they acquired
more possessions, stored food, made pottery, adopted the bow and arrow,
domesticated dogs and turkeys.
The Anasazi left their mark on a grand
scale, through the construction of
perhaps the most stunning prehistoric
communities in North America like these
at Mesa Verde.
The Anasazi would prove be resourceful,
adaptable and, ultimately,
the most enduring of the
Pueblo cultural traditions.

CH. 16, Sec. 1:
Objective:
Describe various regional cultures
of pre-Columbian North America.
About 1390, today's State of New York became
the stronghold of five powerful Indian tribes.
Eventually the Iroquois, Mohawks, Oneidas,
Onondagas, and Cayugas joined together to form
the great Iroquois Nation, or Iroquois League.
The Iroquois used animal
skins, mostly elk, deer, bear
and racoon to make their
clothing. They adorned their
clothing with feathers and
beads and they also
tatooed themselves.

A reconstruction of the Sacred Precinct in the center of Tenochtitlan on the

Here mass human sacrifice was commonplace.
