The article "Who Really Owns Greenland? A Land of Ice, Vikings, and Global Power Plays" from BBC's HistoryExtra explores Greenland’s long and complex history of ownership. It traces the island’s journey from early Inuit inhabitants to Viking explorers, Danish missionaries, and Cold War military bases — highlighting how Greenland has become a key player in global politics.
Long before the U.S. Constitution was written, five nations in what is now New York State had agreed to govern together under a shared set of laws. That story, the Haudenosaunee (Iroquois) Confederacy, is where this Kahoot! begins. From there, it moves across North America and through time: the cliff dwellings Ancestral Puebloans built into the canyon walls of Mesa Verde, the forced removal of the Cherokee along the Trail of Tears, the effort to bring buffalo back to the Great Plains, and the lives of First Nations, Métis, and Inuit communities in Canada today. Some answers may surprise you, and some will change how you think about history you thought you knew.
Teachers: Use it to open or review a unit on Indigenous history, government, or human rights, or pair it with the rest of the Indigenous Peoples Around the World Kahoot! course.
