RECORDING HISTORY

Long ago before, books were available and before most kids went to school, older people or “tribal elders” had a duty to tell young people about their tribe. Thus we can consider these tribal elders as the first historians

CLICK MESTORY TELLING Before there were written records, these tribal elders kept all the knowledge in their heads .

They would retell their tribal history through folktales/stories or songs

Thus the first type of recording of history was called ORAL HISTORY

DEFINITION: ORAL HISTORY is the recording of history through stories and songs which are passed on from generation to generation

INVESTIGATING HISTORY

History is also an investigative subject in that an Historian is someone who records and investigates history just like a detective

Primary evidence is evidence that was created at the time of the event. Lots of sources can be

counted as primary sources or evidence - letters, newspapers, maps, photographs,

pictures, objects and film

Secondary evidence occurs when someone creates evidence based on primary evidence.

Thus a historian may write a book on Amerindians based on Primary objects, letters

pictures etc.
