GC History the Bering Strait Theory
Write 150 – 170 words as a response to the discussion below1.) The controversy surrounded behind the original Bering Strait Theory proposes that people and animals migrated from modern-day Siberia to modern-day Alaska via the Bering Strait Ice bridge approximately 5,000 years ago. Some people believed that the Native Americans have always been in America since their existence, but others believed that they migrated from Asia to America along the Bering Strait. This caused a lot of people to have conflicting views of how or if they’ve always lived on these soils. The scientific perspective that was noted in this week’s module power point was that Native Americans were believed to came to Modern-Day Alaska from Modern-Day Siberia from the Bering Strait Ice bridge about 5,000 years ago. These are all important to consider because since we did not live during this history and there isn’t one specific explanation or proof. We must respect all perspectives and report on history so that we do not fall danger to a single story.
2.) In both articles the overall argument was generally on theories of how migration to the land happened. In the article “Other migration Theories”, it seems that the authors overall argument was that once the first humans made it using the Bering Land Bridge as early as 30,000 years ago and crossed over to America about 26,500 years ago other people began to migrate. This article clearly states that the evidence is still sparse and conflicting. They also state in their most recent findings that sparse evidence with weak dating methods, discrepancies in artifacts create an endless hurdle in finding out what is factually correct. Similarly in the other article “Native Americans Call for Rethink of Bering Strait Theory”, it seems the evidence is conflicting, and they are simply writing more of an opinion-based article. They do have more facts such as DNA links, but there’s so much information that is still needed to be able to conclude a final decision on what really happened.
3.) According to this week’s material the significance is that stories often live even when we don’t that the message can reach others even if you are not able to physically tell them yourself. It can resemble history in a sense if talking about your family tree or achievements of your ancestor for example. In the article “Circle of stories” by PBS, there’s a quote in there that says, “Stories are possessed with such power that they have survived for generations despite attempts at repression and assimilation.” and this is so true this saves us from allowing previous history to repeat itself or the dangers of a single perspective that could possibly be wrong or right. This ties back into our material about the Bering Strait Theory because we have a controversy over a topic where there are two differentiating opinions, but we are unsure of who is right. Since there are no archaeological facts to prove or debunk one or another’s perspective, we are unsure and until then their story on how they migrated or not continues which is completely fine.
4.) This week’s material is an exceptional example of historical thinking because as mentioned in the module PowerPoint via week 2 that understanding that to become history there must be ample evidence and this is a case where we don’t have that we have the good guy vs. bad guy scenario. This week makes us think critically considering all the viewpoints and possibilities to formulate our own opinion, but we are unsure of what really happened. This helps me rethink history because what if what we learned or are told is the good guy’s side as opposed to the other vice versa. How do we know who’s good or bad when learning? The key terms from Module 2 that are connected to this week’s material are context we should understand the time period and what is going on to completely grasp a viewpoint of the Bering Strait Theory. Also “Fisting and Lasting”.
5.) This week’s material relates to the “Danger of a Single Story” because we can see that if there isn’t enough information that it simply goes down to a story of what happened until that story can either be debunked or another story with opposing viewpoints is bought up. This week’s material helps remind me that stories can cause a lasting image or impression and depending on what is said it can take a long time for that story to change and that would be really bad especially If it wasn’t true. So, we must be mindful of what we say and how we say it because we are not aware of what damages it can cause to another person, the future, or history and more.
