1. Discuss the brainstorming process you used to identify bias in your primary and secondary sources. How did you do it? Describe the strategies that were successful for you.
2. Consider the challenges you encountered identifying the narratives about your historical event. What methods did you use to identify the absent voices in the historical narratives?
3. What perspectives do you think are missing from the narrative about your historical event?
The library research guide was beneficial in explaining the difference between primary and secondary sources. In addition, there are guides with specific sources a student can use based on one's chosen topic. I took advantage of using the Shapiro Library to discover scholarly journals to use as my primary and secondary sources. Brainstorming manifested itself during the act of performing the actual research.
For example, I came across "Healing Old Wounds: An Indian woman's murder goes to trial--too many years later" while researching EBSCOhost. It piqued my curiosity to a deeper story within the larger story of the Wounded Knee Occupation. One source can lead to another very quickly once you've started!
Researching and reading oral history interviews was one method I used to find the missing voices in historical narratives. This contributed to closing gaps in the historical record and providing a more complete and nuanced knowledge of the event.
Also, sources that examine primary source documents such as government reports, newspaper articles, and personal letters to identify the perspectives and voices of those involved in the event. These methods contribute to a more diverse and accurate understanding of the event by challenging the dominant narrative.
By focusing primarily on the experiences of male leaders and activists, historical narratives have obscured the experiences and contributions of women to the movement. To understand the Wounded Knee occupation and its impact on Native American communities, it is essential to incorporate the perspectives and experiences of women into the historical record.
