For your journal response this week, you'll be reflecting on 4 sources:
1) Howard Zinn's A People's History of the United States, Chapter 1--Columbus, the Indians, and Human Progress
2) Vice documentary: Life as a Young Native American
3) Vice documentary: What Really Happened at Standing Rock
4) Vice documentary: Indigenous Women Keep Going Missing in Montana
After doing the reading and watching the documentaries, write a response reflecting on what you learned.
Here are some guiding questions to help you get started. You are not required to answer all of these questions. Just use this as a jumping-off point:
1) What is Howard Zinn's argument or message in A People's History of the United States? What is his view of Native American and European history?
2) What kind of primary sources does Zinn use to make his argument?
3) What can we learn about modern Native American life from the Vice documentaries?
4) What kind of struggles do modern Native Americans face? How is this a result of history?
