Indian Wars

Today students discussed the Mary Crow Dog reading Civilize Them With the Stick. We discussed how racism creates racism and whether or not the forced assimilation of Native Americans can ever be excused. If so, under what circumstances? Why?

The last part of the period, we resumed watching clips from The West documentary.

HOMEWORK:
Find an article, essay, news story, that discusses ways in which Native Americans are preserving their culture/traditions today.
