Share with class.
From the White Buffalo Woman, I was able to percieve that a nature is very important to Native Americans because they use nature as their source of explaination to why they are here and many other questions on life. Nature is also very imporatnt to them because they depend on it, it could be considered as their source of food. Nature itself is very important to them because it is holy because it plays an important role inreligious ceremonys. Such as when the Lakota and Sioux recieved their pipe.
Recall: from your Global studies class what is imperialism. Now recall the documentary we viewed last week together with your notes and identify any system of imperialism as it pertains to Native Americans.
Imperialism was a time in late 1800s early 1900s, when powerful nations like Great Britain annexed territories around the world for the benefit of their industrialization. When we previously watched the documentary last week, the English were practicing Imperialism because Custer played a part in pushing Native Americans to the west of the US. It was almost like a genocide to the Native Americans.
