Question

1. Which of the following is a term that could be applied to many American Indian groups before European contact? A Enslaved B Coverture C Irreligious D Matrilineal

Answer 1

Matrilineal

Got this right on the module 1 test. The other choices are mainly false:

there was little to no slavery among Native Americans (before European arrival, that is), they HAD religious beliefs (they were not atheist!), and, to my knowledge, the idea of coverture was not too prominent.

Answer 2

C, they didn’t really have a religion although a lot of them had religious beliefs.
