Hey Gang!

I am in DC, which is unfortunate because this is one of my absolute favorite units of the year...Native America 1865-1900.

Please watch this video as a class as an introduction to the unit and then continue on...




“The whites were always trying to make the Indians give up their life and live like white men -- go to  farming, work hard, and they did not want to anyway...If the Indians had tried to make the whites live like them, the whites would have resisted, and it was the same way with many Indians…”


-Wamditanka (Big Eagle) of Santee Sioux



Read through the Native America Packet 1865-1900 and answer the Gold Q's in the document.

The answers will be handwritten on separate sheets of loose leaf paper.  The paper is located under The David and the pencil sharpener.  Staple the pages if you need to.  NO ONE is allowed to type the assignment...Work alone.

There are many videos in the document.  Please watch them.  I take it personal when you do not take the time to read the document and watch the videos.  I take a significant amount of time to create the readings & put together the documents.  When you do not read the document or watch the videos, I feel insulted and disrespected.  Please do the work.

Watch this video on the board as an entire class before you begin reading the packet.  

Answer this first Q for your Native America HW assignment:
What are three things you found interesting from the video that you did not know before watching?

"America is a stolen country..."
