Introduction 

It’s been a little while since my last blog post! I also noticed there are people visiting my blog from all around the world, which is pretty cool, so hello! Anyway I should keep on track! The driving question for this project is what was the consequences of colonization? Well I will be answering that question in my own words. This project was about colonization and how it impacted the indigenous peoples. In this project we had to make a keynote presentation and present it to the grade 11 who where studying indigenous peoples as well. The first step was note making. This means we Took articles and where writing down the important stuff.

The keynote 💻

The keynote didn’t take as long as I expected it too. This is because we presented with our groups. Madeline J and Ella H where in my group. Our two main focuses where Indigenous architecture and recourses. We had 14 slides including our Kahoot! Slide. We where presenting to the grade 11 BCFP class.

individual keynote!

The rules where the keynote was 2 slides and 3 words on each slide.this was a complicating situation. 

The thinking 🤔 

I was confused because how are you supposed to answer this: what where the consequences of colonization? To me the consequences when very diverse. But mostly land destruction and taken culture ways. 

The keynote 💻

The keynote only took like an hour because it was only two slides! But I made presenter notes. Those are notes that you can see but the audience can’t see them. The presentation had a time limit of two minutes. I don’t know how long I took but I do know that some people went over 2 minutes. Colonial Architecture 🏠🗿

Colonial powers often imposed their architectural styles upon the territories they colonized, leaving behind structures that reflected their cultural influence and power dynamics. From the neoclassical buildings of British colonies to the Spanish colonial architecture found across Latin America, these structures serve as tangible reminders of the colonial past. The architectural landscape often mirrored the hierarchical structures of colonial society, with grand governmental buildings and opulent residences juxtaposed against more modest structures occupied by the local populace.

Resource Exploitation 🐟🎣🗿

Colonialism was often driven by the pursuit of natural resources, leading to the exploitation and extraction of valuable materials from colonized lands. Whether it was minerals, timber, or agricultural products, colonies were viewed as sources of wealth to be exploited for the benefit of the colonial powers. This resource extraction had profound environmental and social consequences, leading to deforestation, soil degradation, and displacement of indigenous communities.

Conclusion

The architecture of colonization stands as a testament to the complexities of power, identity, and resource exploitation. By examining the intersection of architecture and resources within the context of colonization, we gain insights into the enduring legacies of colonialism and the ongoing struggles for decolonization and cultural autonomy. As we navigate the complexities of our built environments, it is imperative to confront the historical injustices embedded within them and strive for a more equitable and sustainably.
