I thought that James Louwen's "1493" was a really powerful article, and I would be very interested in
reading the rest of Lies My Teacher Told Me. However, I do wish that he provided more sources and
evidence. Specifically, there was one claim--that Native Americans had sailed to Holland around 60 CE--
that I couldn't find any merit in or any evidence for when I searched after reading it. That made the whole
reading more difficult because I wasn't sure if I was able to trust what he said. Despite this, the general
ideas and concepts that he mentioned, as well as some of the more well known contestations he brought
up, were very interesting and powerful.
