Humanities 7 – Homework – Nov 3

Today in class, students continued the mock trial The People v. Columbus, et al by presenting evidence and calling witnesses, hearing each team's closing statement, before the jury reached its verdict.
Homework - Respond to the questions on the Columbus Trial Reflection - who (or what) was most guilty of the killing of thousands, perhaps millions of Taíno Indians in the years after 1492, and should this event be considered "genocide" according to the definition laid out by the United Nations Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide?
