Consistent, Convenient, Coincidence
Many of you remembered the three words that Jeff taught you. How did each of these effect trade for the Mandan and Hidatsa Indians?
Convenient is the river Consistent the same thing over and over again Coincidence how the guns and horses ended up at Fort Mandan at the same time. vitoriaG.
Convenient-The river was convenient because of the trading. Consistent-the same thing over and over agin. Coincidence-was that how the guns and horses ended up at the same time in Fort Mandan. Riley
CONSISTENT: The Mandans rarely moved their villages, probably because they needed to stay close to their gardens. That made the location of those villages "consistent".
CONVENIENT: The Mandans' villages were usually located very close to the Missouri River because that's where the good farm land (and trees to build earth lodges with) was located. That along-the-river location made the villages "convenient" (easy to get to) for people like traders who had supplies to move.
COINCIDENCE: The arrival of two important trade items (the horse and the gun) kept the Mandan villages important in trade - the other two Cs had already made them so! :)
The three words were consistence, convienence, and coincedence. It helped them because people could come and get two useful things at the same time.
ReplyDeleteMaybe the Mandan was harvesting crops over and over again, and that's consistent! Julia
