? "W"! *e maailvt qMwta wlidi Mucked Native American* in Eastern No* C?olina(?d all over Eastern Nonh America) between 1900 awl 1700 AD. TV main point of that discussion was that virtually Mew to have forgot tea that it happened. Why doea it matter? What difference docs it wake in oar daily live* today that ao many died ao ipdcfclj ao long ago? ba't that Jaat ancient hhnory? Some people think that to *e Carotene until tta 1900b. and then only briefly, with the aerie* of baled attempt* we now know a* Ok I "Lost Colony " Soom people also have the idea that after the "Lout I Cokmy" European* didn't appew in the Carolina* again until after 1700, when John Lawaon traveled among the Indiana. The fact i* thai (here weae a great many other oppartuniiic* lor European dbeaae* to he apmad by European* and other Indian* inio Indian nation* la 1497 Cabot contacted Algookian Indians on what is now the Dehnarva Peninsula (the part* of Delaware. Maryland and Virginiacaal I o(Che*apeake Bay), these Algonkian* I were almost certainly trading ^ pytners of (he Alfonkian* just south ' ofthare. in North Carolina. Vcrrazawt ! contacted Indians in 1924 at the -n^nth of the Cape Fear fchrcr (near ' AyMnington, NC) AyIMn had a brief colony in Soodt Carolina in 1926 DeSoto marched all over the Southeast, coming up into the I Carolina* in 1940. After the "Lost Cokmy" there were many more contact* between Europeans and Indians in the I Caroline*. Sickfcmore was sent to I .lank lor dm "tost colonists" in 1609.1 After a Ng influx of colonist* into Virginia between 1618 and 1621,1 there wen several expeditions from there down into North Carolina dm|the period 1622 - 1655. lathe 1660k there wercculonisbupand down Ac Caps Pear fUver (inclndiag a three-year colony from Barbados caikd Chariot Town) Between 1670 and 1713, the Cberaw hta were conducting trade back and forth between their Eastern Sionaa kiarmcn (i.e., Catawba) and the Virginia colony And there were many other trader*, travelers and missionaries Mom of them earned viral Medians with them. But to what if (here were lots of opportunities far Indians to get fbwopcaa diseases? Why does it matter now? Besides the humanitarian concern for the great numbers of people who are five main reason* why it still makes a difference today: I 1) Many tribes and nartnas were hit by epidemics before aoyooe wrote down who they were and where they lived. This means that in some cases whole cultures and languages simply disappeared, leaving bilk or no trace of their having ever been there. In some cases we know they were there because someone wrote down a name for them, but tbe name itself is all that remains today. 2) In smallpox and measles epidemics it was frequently (he case thai nearly everyone became infected. But the people who were must likely to die from it were elders and children. This means that a tribe or nation which experienced a series of epidemics such as those described in last week's segment would lose most all of ils knowledge of the post (with the ciders) and nearly all of ils hope ft* the future (with the children). How much of a culture survives these kinds of kisses? 3) Great losses in population reduced the Indians' ability to Tight against the increasing waves of cokmists. Even though some of the early conflicts in the Carolina* were Hmmn won by *? Indians (far example, the Clwilw County War m 1666^7). as epidemics continued ilicir dciidi) number* of able warriors dwindled caused by the epidemics further reduced the Indians' ability to wage extended wars. This means that post epidemic warfare was a very different thing, both in the way it was conducted and in its likely outcome, than pie epidemic warfare 4) Depopulation caused by epidemics and the warfare that followed forced Indian people to join into alliances with other Indians. Several "federations" of nations formed, such as the Saponi (who were joined by Occaneechi, Tutelo and otbcfsjand Catawba (who were joined by Santee, Con garee and others). This means that cultural mergers happened, resulting in the loss of much information about some of the individual "merged" cultures. 3) The tendency was for these "merged" and decimated groups of Indian people to experience very rapid changes in what was left of their cultures Simple survival required that people from different Indian nations leant to live together At the same time, the Indians were farced to learn to live alongside European people, k> deal with European culture. This means that many of the parts of their former tribal cultures ? especially the parts that are visible from the outside, such as architecture, dress, language, etc. ? bad to be hidden, and eventually disappeared. So why do those old epidemics matter now? Because they were the single most powerful ingredient in producing the exact nature of Indian cultures which we see in Eastern North Carolina today.

Dnbtti can spit >p for necessarily a problem, such as overfeeding, poor burping or formula intolerance Them can usually be corrected without much difficulty. Occasionally, however, I see an infant with spitting up due to reflux" that may require some special medical Reflux (the medical term is pin it ii i|ilnn!i nl 11 fins nhi n the muscle that separates the stomach and food tube (esophagus) is not very I tight. When formula reaches the stomach and chutning begins the I contents can be forced up into the ! food tube and out the mouth and/or t nose ifthai muscle is not tight enough . When the amount of reflux is mild, the infant usually does well and out grows the condition. When the reflux t is severe, the infant may show symptoms such as failure to gam weight, inflammation of the I esophagus, pneumonia, asthma and other breathing difficulties. Patients with significant symptoms I usually undergo an x-ray test called a , banum swallowtoevaluale how much reflux ugoaag m.

Keeping the inf.int upright during and after feeds will allow gravity to hold the stomach contents down better Good burping techniques shook} always be practiced. Those infent i who continue to have significant reflux despite these measures need to see their doctor 4 There are tome prescription medications thil may help. Corrective surgery is reserved for only the vety worst cases. The key ror|?rents is to remember that spitting can be a normal part of infancy. Thickening feeds, proper positioning and time alone usually corrects it. If tb: child is not growing or having respiratory symptoms, then medical attention is necessary. .
