During this module, you read about family characteristics within a cultural framework. Which pair of characteristics would accurately be attributed to the Native American and the African American cultures with regard to interactions? Native American families may need time to think over whether they want to have their child screened; African American families may be concerned that if their child were screened, it could be a sign they were not taking proper care of their child. Native American families would immediately be warm and welcoming to the idea of early intervention; African American families would need to think the idea over for sometime. Native American families would be very cooperative with early intervention personnel although they might not really want to be; African American families may initially be reluctant to let personnel come to their home. Both Native American families and African American families would do almost anything to save face.

When European settlers arrived in the Americas, historians estimate that there were over 10 million Native Americans living there. By 1900, their estimated population was under 300,000. Native Americans were subjected to many different forms of violence, all with the intention of destroying the community. In the late 1800s, blankets from smallpox patients were distributed to Native Americans in order to spread disease. There were several wars, and violence was encouraged. For example, European settlers were paid for each Penobscot person they killed (extracted from here). Based on the text above and evolutionary thinking, answer the questions below: a) Name the evolutionary process associated with the genocide of Native American People and describe the expected long-lasting consequences for their gene pool. (2 pts) b) Design a study to look for genetic evidence of genocide in Native American populations. (2 pts)

How does the requirement that child protection provide "active efforts" in working with Native American families change agency practices? Why is this important or does this seem to put undue burden on child protection workers?

The type of albinism that arises with high frequency among Hopi Native Americans (discussed in the introduction to this chapter) is most likely oculocutaneous albinism type $2,$ due to a defect in the OCA2 gene on chromosome $15 .$ Do some research on the Internet to determine how the phenotype of this type of albinism differs from the phenotypes of other forms of albinism in humans and to identify the mutated genes that result in those phenotypes.
