Canadian History taking back from the Americans!



Well last night as I semi-dozed off while watching the news, I was jerked awake by the new Social Studies teacher in me! A story about Canadian History being almost rewritten!! Ooooh what exciting stuff!! So 17th century engraving shown here has historically been thought to depict early contact between Europeans and the original inhabitants of New England....word on the archeological and scholastic street is that it is actually a portrayal of John Guy meeting with the Beothuk in Trinity Bay...Newfoundland!!!

Oh the exciting world of History right?? I just thought you would all enjoy this tidbit of information that would truly be bringing history into today's world for our students...
