JURY MEMBERS ONLY (NOT PERIOD 4): 3rd Day of DBQ's

Page 49B Standard/38B Honors:

  1. How did Eduardo Galeano use historical sources to support his re-imagining of the native experience after Columbus’ “discovery”?
  2. What does Galeano’s account tell you about the fate of the enslaved Arawak/Tainos whom Columbus took to Spain?
  3. How does Galeano describe the Pope? What, in his eyes, is the Pope’s interest and complicity in both the goals and consequences of Columbus’ voyages?
  4. What does Galeano mean when he writes in his entry of 1493 on Santa Cruz Island that Columbus “has again planted the cross and gallows”? Do you agree or disagree? How and why?
