The excerpt is from a book entitled Crazy Horse: The Strange Man of the Oglalas by Mari Sandoz. In her book, Sandoz recalls stories she had heard as a child growing up in “Crazy Horse country” in the Black Hills of what is now South Dakota. This is an account of how many Native Americans, including Crazy Horse, reacted to the arrival of “the white man.”

  1. Who was Crazy Horse? Define what you think his role was:a) from the Native American viewpoint andb) from a historical viewpoint.
  2. Present two of Crazy Horse’s observations about the arrival of white settlers. Do you think his observations were correct, why or why not?
  3. How did westward expansion affect Native American culture and land? Do you think the Native Americans could have stopped the westward migration? Why or why not?

Please note that all three questions have multiple elements. Make sure that you have addressed each one before moving on to the next question.

The best way to approach this assignment would be to respond to the questions in the order they are presented. For example; start by restating the question, “1. Who was Crazy Horse? Define what you think his role was: a) from the Native American viewpoint and b) from an historical viewpoint.” Then begin by answering the first element of the question, ‘Who was Crazy Horse?’ and then move into part “a” and then part “b”.
