History is based on events from an earlier time. By talking about these, analysing them from different points of view and examining them, we make history. That way, events (can) suddenly seem completely different and are handled in a different way than when they happened. And this is what I learned about historical thinking this term: The way we see events can change over time. An example for this is the Chilcotin War – when discussing this today, one may come to the conclusion that it was not really a war, but that it resembled more an act of resistance. The changed view of Indigenous peoples is just one example of many. This bias was examined in the first reading for the first reading log, and I learned during this semester that when thinking historically, this is an important influence that is important to consider when using (old) sources.
