This is a new way of looking at North America’s History, a western perspective, with materials applicable to the full range of social studies classes, from preschool to HS Civics that will include Ethnic, Ethic, and Holocaust Studies. Topics are presented by “state/province areas” though animals and plants (& once “First Peoples”) do/did not recognize today’s political boundaries. The West hosts the grandest industries, highest living standards, and technologies ever known … and some of its worse poverties. And arguably North America’s West hosts the most successful integration of cultures, races, and nationalities which means it accepts “change.” There is a reason why women’s suffrage first appeared in Wyoming, why today more than 50% of all global venture funding for AI startups flows to companies in the San Francisco Bay area, why windmills, free speech, and EVs flourish. To understand why, to teach the next generation about what has been lost … still to be lost, we explore what motivated the explorers, exploiters, and everyday citizen immigrant behaviors … including the importance of the Bible and early settlers’ belief systems. And we suggest all students in North America review a few of these lesson topics. The West is owned publicly by people in the East (63% U.S., over 90% in Canada). It needs a learned next generation of conscientious stewards, from Miami to Halifax to deal with plant and animal extinctions, exploitation wastes, and the blind opposition to its “rewilding.” Both Canada and the U.S. flourish because they honor “property rights,” the foundation of capitalism. The West’s owners, from Boston to New York, from Ottawa to Toronto need not to be unknowing, “distant owners.”
