Developed for Grades 7 and 8. Students compare and contrast the two leaders' responses to the events of the late nineteenth century; one confrontational, the other conciliatory. Designed to supplement material found in Chapter 7 of Montana: Stories of the Land.
Lesson uses interviews with Pat Vegas and Redbone from the documentary Rumble: The Indians That Rocked the World as a jumping-off point to examine the U.S. government's efforts to control Native American culture by way of music.
Historical note:
"In 1911 Edward E. Ayer, a Chicago businessman, presented to The Newberry Library his collection of historical source material relating chiefly to the discovery, exploration and colonization of North America and to the native races of North America, the Hawaiian Islands and the Philippine Islands. It contains at present about 49,000 volumes, bound pamphlets, manuscripts, documents and other accessioned pieces."
