Constructed Response Questions
*
The first Constructed Response Question will be based on the Land Bridge Theory from
Chapter One/Part One. The question will be based on a map that was not in the notes and the
following paragraph:
The people that first moved into the Americas originally came from Asia and probably spent a long time in
a place known as Beringia. Beringia was a piece of land in between Russia and Alaska that was above sea
level during the last ice age - over 15,000 years ago. When the ice age ended, temperatures and sea levels
rose and this land was covered in water. Today it is known as the Bering Strait. Before the land was
covered in water, humans crossed over it or moved along its edge in boats from Asia to the Americas. This
theory or idea is now known as the Land Bridge Theory.
*
The second question will be based on the image and caption below and the following
paragraph from your Chapter One/Part Three Notes.
The Hiawatha Wampum Belt – telling the story or Dekanawida’s journey from east (right) to west (left) to
bring the message of Peace to the Iroquois Nations
According to Iroquois History, the Confederacy was formed by Dekanawida – a Huron Indian.
Dekanawida was disturbed by the fighting that took place between the Iroquois nations and realized that
they would be destroyed by their enemies (the Algonquin Indians, a huge collection of tribes to their north
and west) if they could not unite with each other. With the aid of a Mohawk named Hiawatha, he brought
a message of peace to the Iroquois, which was slowly accepted by all of the tribes.
