Hi all,
Your first paper will be based upon the documentary film in this week’s module titled The West documentary film. Watch the film. Answer these questions based upon the film. You must use quotation marks when copying or paraphrasing passages from the film. Cite the director and the time stamp. This is how to do it (Ives, 45:30 – 46:00). Ives is the director of the film and the numbers indicate the time stamp from the film. See the In-Text Citation Guide in the Start Here folder for more information if you are unsure about how to do in-text citations.
Number your answers.
1. What was the Ghost Dance? Explain Sitting Bull’s role in promoting the Ghost Dance among the Lakota.
2. What was the Dawes Act? What was its impact on Native American landholdings? What does this tell us about US policy goals toward Native Americans?
3. What was the massacre at Wounded Knee? What happened? Why was this important?
