Yesterday, May 8th, we learned about Red Cloud. We read primary and secondary sources, then answered questions. Red Cloud was a warrior, diplomatic, and leader of the Lakota tribe. He fought against the USA (especially on the Dawes Act that separated the land into farming sections, much like the Homestead Act), using physical force when necessary and otherwise words.
Today, May 9th, we learned about Sitting Bull; again by reading primary and secondary sources. He was a warrior, spiritual leader, and chief of the Lakota tribe. He had many visions that proved true and helped the Lakota in their battle with the USA. He was the last to surrender, and even after that he was rebellious.
