Questions 8 through 11 are based on the following class

discussion:

Professor: By now you have read the chapter about the challenges

faced by Native Americans after the first Europeans set￾tled in North America. What were your reactions?

Yes, Malinda?

Malinda: I was really surprised that the biggest threat to the

Native Americans was disease. I couldn’t believe how

much damage smallpox and measles caused.

Jose: Yeah, it was really devastating. The native population

just didn’t have the immunity to those diseases. I read

in the chapter that smallpox and measles killed entire

Native American communities before even one Euro￾pean got sick!

Barbara: Disease wasn’t the only problem. There was genocide.

And European settlement also destroyed their tradi￾tional way of life.
