Cross Americas: Probing Disglobal Networks

We Are the Stories We Tell

International Proceedings

Author(s): Clare Cardinal-Pett

The argument outlined in this paper is simple: understanding what actually happened in the Americas before 1492 CE enlightens our understanding of the present. I hope to contribute to the broad academic discourse about global issues by addressing false assumptions that do not serve to illuminate real places, people, and practices. Perhaps one of the concerns mentioned in the conference call for papers, an“increased contemporary need to develop strategies to cope with future stresses,” should be addressed, in part, by rethinking the stories we tell about how we got to the current human condition.
