Mrs. Minich’s Blog

This weekend, either on my blog or on a sheet of notebook paper, write one paragraph on each of the following questions: (make sure you click on the above title of the assignment to access the “post” screen)

1) What is something that is as important to you as Zitkala-Sa’s hair is to her? Describe why that thing is important to you and what you would feel/ how you would react if it was taken away.

2) In the movie, Dances with Wolves, as well as in the readings, what are several ways that the Sioux Indians and other Native Americans are represented as more civilized than the white man?

3) What would be your initial reaction if one day you were removed from your home and the land? What would you do? What would you take? How would you ensure your survival?
