Native American Indian Case Study Part 3
Results of Resistance
The values of cooperation and generosity were (are) important in the Sioux culture. However, when a man was forced to defend himself, this person could demonstrate that “he could think clearly and act calmly on the battlefield”. This person also had opportunities to show “he was a good provider for his family and could take care of the helpless ones. The people liked those ways and they asked him to be a leader.” [The Lakota Way by Joseph M. Marshall III, p.196]
In today’s audio recording, I’ll discuss some conflicts at the end of the 1800s. Under the leadership of Chief Sitting Bull and Chief Big Foot, their bands demonstrated resistance and a strong will to survive even in the face of dire circumstances. However, the results of this resistance did not end well for the Native American Indians.
