Railroad owners

Page 14: Unit 4

Discrimination and poor pay

Page 17: Unit 4

Populism Supported farmers struggling with debt

caused by low prices and high rail costs Were against the gold standard (paper

money backed by gold only) Wanted paper money (greenbacks)

backed by gold and silver in order to fuel inflation

With more paper money in supply, prices rise helping farmers make more $

white man’s ways

Page 23: Unit 4

Steps to Assimilation Teach Indians

how to farm and be self-sufficient

Indian Schools for children

Land ownership for individual families and not tribes.

Page 24: Unit 4

Slaughtered Buffalo on the great plains

“The star blanket lit up the sky and the elders saw and prayed to their ancestors. They cried out for answers. "Why are we left here to starve? What has happened to Tatanka Oyasin (the Buffalo Nation)?" The scouts had traveled very far to search for the once huge herds of buffalo. All of the hunters returned only to report of the same mystery. After many weeks, their greatest hunter set out to find the answer to the mystery. His name was Fire Deer”.

My food destroyed and perhaps my way of life

What I hear

The cries of my starving children

I smell the blood of tatanka

What I smell

What I feel

I am angry that the white man has taken over

Life on the Reservation“ Many Native Americans sold their land for

peanuts and the increase in alcoholism once Native Americans were restricted to the reservation was astronomical. The reservation was also a means by which Native Americans were further disenfranchised and abused. On the reservation their children could be taken from them without cause or warning and sent to boarding school, they had no right of habeas corpus and could be arrested if any suspicion about their loyalty to the reservation or the US government existed.”

Assimilation of A Native American girl

When she first returns to her family, Lucille is not dressed like a Navajo woman; she has adopted white women's "[s]hort skirts, and high-heeled shoes, and . . . stilted walk with pocket-book in hand…. Distaste for the eating, sleeping, and other habits of her Navajo family reminds the young woman that she has learned skills, such as how "to cook real good, on a stove“….

Page 38: Unit 4

Assimilation of A Native American girl

Although she wanted to be white, the reality was that whites didn’t want anything to do with her………..” I asked to get a job. Dey couldn't get me one'“ …..(eventually) Lucille pinpoints suicide as the only escape from an unproductive and unhappy existence, her death is the ultimate evidence that assimilation has failed.”

Wounded Knee Massacre“There was a woman with an infant in her

arms who was killed as she almost touched the flag of truce, and the women and children of course were strewn all along the circular village until they were dispatched. Right near the flag of truce a mother was shot down with her infant; the child not knowing that its mother was dead was still nursing, and that especially was a very sad sight. “

Page 42: Unit 4

Wounded knee Massacre“The women as they were fleeing with their

babes were killed together, shot right through, and the women who were very heavy with child were also killed. All the Indians fled in these three directions, and after most all of them had been killed a cry was made that all those who were not killed wounded should come forth and they would be safe. Little boys who were not wounded came out of their places of refuge, and as soon as they came in sight a number of soldiers surrounded them and butchered them there.”
