Essential Question: How and why have Native Americans struggled with their cultural identity?
- We will read some contemporary fiction from Sherman Alexie, a humorous, poetic writer, and these stories from The Lone Ranger and Tonto Fistfight in Heaven all revolve around one reservation, and the way of life there.
- As for history, well, essentially our mistreatment and near eradication of Native Americans will be looked at, and how that has also formed the Native American Identity.
- Our schedule
- A nice introduction to contemporary reservation life is a 20/20 special, "Children of the Plains." and some guided questions
- Excerpt from Howard Zinn's A People's History of the United States
- Sherman Alexie is charming on the Colbert Report...And again.
- If you would like to see what our assessment will be, it's here.
