Compare the narratives presented in your primary and secondary sources relevant to your
historical event.
Sarro’s article really showed me how unfair the justice system was towards Native
American’s. In his article he quests several marshals and politicians from the American
government who seem dumbfounded as to why this is happening. Or perhaps they were
just in a biased denial that there was anything wrong.
With D’Arcus’s article he takes on
a social perspective and really shows the reasoning behind when and why. Douglas’s
article he combines the social perspective with the events and really brings into light
why Wounded knee was a big deal and how they “stoked the fires” of the press and
media. Through each different narrative and how they seen the event and their biased
they bring about different angles of the same event. You get a more complete picture of
the social impact and issues by looking at these different sources.
Describe one narrative that has significantly influenced the contemporary understanding of your
historical event.
D’Arcus’s article really brought my research question into full focus. He shows how the Natives
planned these events to cause the biggest impact. With his article I was really able to understand
how Wounded Knee was planned, and why it was focused on when it was.
Explain how the chosen narrative helps you better understand your historical research question.
Please provide your revised research question and then explain how the chosen narrative helps
you better understand your historical event.
My last source covers several different events that happened and shows how the tension
increased from the 1800’s to 1900’s. This brings into questions, why did they have to continue to
have these demonstrations and occupations if the American government was listening,
changing, or generally caring about what they were saying? There wasn’t a big enough social
impact from the Native American’s that made the world listen let alone the American
Government.
Have events like the Wounded Knee Occupation made a strong enough social change for
the Indigenous people of America to be seen as their own nation?
