ÁLVAR NÚÑEZ CABEZA DE VACA AND THE VISION
This is the travels of an explorer before Coronado. We have talked about him before. Use your notes from our discussion and documentary. Please listen to the ideas people have in class while you work on the documents. Stay on task. There will be at least 2 documents. You can see the video here has an embedded link. Cabeza De Vaca had said that the only way in life was through "kindness". What was that vision of the West? What was the dream? What could have been?
Please add in this quote into your notebook. “American’s aren’t wrong in seeing the West as a land of the future, a land in which astonishing things are possible. What they are often wrong about is that there’s no price to be paid for that, that everybody can succeed, or that even what succeeds is necessarily the best for all concerned. The West is much more complicated than that.”–Richard White
