Unit 6 : Native Americans: Conflict and change

By the end of the unit, students will answer the following two writing prompts:
When European colonists began to settle in what they called the New World, there was increasing conflict for territorial, economic, and political
control. Although some Native American groups tried to remain neutral or conciliatory, over time the competition for land and resources and a
series of broken treaties created a great hostility.

Pair images with some writing and a poem (multiple sources) to write an opinion?
How could the European settlers (US GOVT?) have better handled their dealing with Native American tribes? Use the images, texts and maps that
we have looked at and read throughout the unit. Quote (that is, cite) evidence from those sources.
OR
Reparations are the act of making amends for a wrong by paying money or helping those that are wronged. In your opinon, does the US
government owe reparations to the Native Americans? Use the images, texts and maps that we have looked at and read throughout the unit.
Quote (that is, cite) evidence from those sources.

Dont forget:
To introduce your topic clearly, state an opinion, and create an organizational structure in which ideas are logically grouped to support the purpose of
your writing.
To provide logically ordered reasons that are supported by facts and details.
To link opinion and reasons using words, phrases, and clauses.
To provide a concluding statement or section related to the opinion you are presenting.

A Friend of the Indians by Joseph Bruchac
A man who was known
as a friend of the Indians
spoke to Red Jacket one day
about the good treatment
the Senecas enjoyed
from their white neighbors.

Red Jacket walked with him
beside the river, then suggested
they should sit together
on a log next to the stream.
They both sat down.
Then Red Jacket slid closer
to the man and said, Move Over.
The man moved over, but when he did
Red Jacket again slid closer.
Move Over, he said.

Three times this happened
until the man had reached
the end of the log near the water.
Then, once more, he was told,
Move Over.
But if I move further
I shall fall in the water,
the man pleaded,
teetering on the edge.
Red Jacket replied,
And even so you whites
tell us to move on when
no place is left to go.
From Wounds Beneath the Flesh, ed. by Maurice Kenny (Fredonia, NY: White Pine Press, 1987)
Joseph Bruchac is a noted Abenaki poet, author and scholar
Red Jacket was an Iroquois leader
