Assignment:

In Blackhawk's chapter for this week, he discusses what he calls, "settler boom," whereby settler communities quickly expanded, bringing with them the presence and power of the federal government. While before 1850, "Minnesota had fewer than five thousand settlers" (Blackhawk 292), by the end of the century, the population had exploded. Viznor's Bear Island tells the story of this violent clash, resulting in Anishinaabe victory over the United States Army in 1898 at Leech Lake. The war at Sugar Point is an example of Native resistance told through Indigenous docupoetry (Blaeser). Throughout the poem, Viznor uses Anishinaabe language to tell this history. Select a stanza from the poem with an example of Anishinaabe language, then define the Anishinaabe term, and explain how it shapes your interpretation of that stanza.

Connect the linguistic, cultural and historical context Viznor discusses in the "Introduction" to the poem itself.
