In the chapter titled “The Fight with Three Stars,” (IN THE BOOK, ATTACHED) Blac
In the chapter titled “The Fight with Three Stars,” (IN THE BOOK, ATTACHED) Black Elk says his father “told me … we were going to have to fight from then on, because there was no other way to keep our country.” However, later, in “Walking the Black Road,” his father admits “all of the fighting had not done any good,” because the Lakota were outnumbered and were not unified in their resistance: “the Hangs-Around-the-Fort people were getting ready to sell the Black Hills to the Wasichu anyway.” Although Black Elk and his group end their armed resistance, they do not embrace cooperation with the Americans: “Our people were all sad because Crazy Horse was dead, and now they were going to pen us up in little islands and make us be like Wasichus,” he says in “Grandmother’s Land.” His family flees to Canada, in order to continue living according to Lakota traditions and values. Even though his family eventually returns to their homeland, Black Elk does not like the lifestyle the Americans enforce upon the Lakota. For instance, he dislikes the American homes they live in, “little gray houses.” In “The First Cure” he says, “It is a bad way to live, for there can be no power in a square.” I write all of this to give you some context for Luther Standing Bear’s attitude toward the Americans. In a brief response (at least 300 words — double-spaced!), describe for me Standing Bear’s attitude toward Americans and their efforts to educate him in their culture. Tell me about two events he narrates that give some insight to his response to these efforts. Be sure to explain HOW these events illustrate his attitude (positive or negative) toward the Americans and their efforts to educate him. Keep in mind the formula I have discussed this semester for academic writing: claim + evidence + explanation. Responses will be evaluated based upon their use of evidence from the text (specific events, key words, etc.) and how that evidence is explained in relation to a claim that clearly responds to the prompt. Some students try to answer this quiz by writing about Black Elk only. Remember: You are reading several chapters from Luther Standing Bear’s book, My People the Sioux. You need to answer this question based on those chapters. You are writing about Standing Bear, not Black Elk. I have not asked about Black Elk. (Also, you are writing about Luther Standing Bear and not the Standing Bear who is mentioned in Neihardt’s book.)
