  1. First English settlers in North America ate dogs to survive

    “Archaeologists excavated about 181 canine bones in Jamestown – representing at least 16 dogs that lived between 1607 and 1617 AD.

    The dog remains showed evidence of bone modifications “consistent with human skinning, skeletal disarticulation, and meat removal” – meaning they were consumed by the colonists.”

  3. A follow-up to the 1614 #Japanese Keichō Embassy that passed through #Mexico and was documented by the #Native #Nahua historian Chimalpahin Messenger with Shield post (linked to post below):

    The Ambassador Hasekura Tsunenaga (pictured here in Rome) left Japan in late 1613 with a Japanese delegation of about 140 people, including 22 samurai.

    When the Japanese embassy landed in Acapulco in late January 1614, the only English colony on the continent was #Jamestown, of Pocahontas fame, which might have only had about 50-100 people.

    Ergo, in early 1614, there might have been more Japanese in North America than English.
