What does culture have to do with learning? Some might say nothing at all but in "An Indian Father's Plea" by Robert Lake (Medicine Grizzlybear) an argument is made that just the opposite is true. Wind-Wolfs father argues that his teacher does not know his son and that his son is not a slow learner at all. His father's argument is weak because it lacks evidence to prove that Wind-Wolf is learning at the same speed as other children his age, which is the teacher's argument.

Wind-Wolf's learning has taken place culturally and although he is obviously educated because of this, it does not support his father's argument that he is not a slow learner. Wind-Wolf's father states that Wind-Wolf knows "Shapes, sizes,colors, texture, sound, smell, feeling, taste, and the learning process are therefore functionally integrated-the physical and spiritual, matter and energy, conscious and unconscious, individual and social." aspects of learning but he does not mention the speed at which Wind-Wolf can learn the subjects the teacher is teaching. He also uses examples of the "Sacred Sun Dance" which again doesn't prove that Wind-Wolf is progressing as he should in class. He mentions that Wind-Wolf has learned differently but doesn't give any clear evidence to support his argument. "And he was taught to learn mathematics by counting the sticks we use in our traditional native hand game." These culturally rich activities have educated Wind-Wolf in way that the Western world has not been educated but which makes him even more educated than other children but does not give evidence that he is on track in school unfortunately.

Although I myself do not agree that Medicine Grizzlybear hasn't supported his argument thoroughly there is evidence that his claim wasn't well supported. It is clear that Wind-Wolf and Medicine Grizzlybear are both well educated in fact in some areas they are more educated than most students especially culturally.

Read the passage, then answer the question that follows. no one could have seen it at the time, but the invention of beet sugar was not just a challenge to cane. it was a hint—just a glimpse, like a twist that comes about two thirds of the way through a movie—that the end of the age of sugar was in sight. for beet sugar showed that in order to create that perfect sweetness you did not need slaves, you did not need plantations, in fact you did not even need cane. beet sugar was a foreshadowing of what we have today: the age of science, in which sweetness is a product of chemistry, not whips. in 1854 only 11 percent of world sugar production came from beets. by 1899 the percentage had risen to about 65 percent. and beet sugar was just the first challenge to cane. by 1879 chemists discovered saccharine—a laboratory-created substance that is several hundred times sweeter than natural sugar. today the sweeteners used in the foods you eat may come from corn (high-fructose corn syrup), from fruit (fructose), or directly from the lab (for example, aspartame, invented in 1965, or sucralose—splenda—created in 1976). brazil is the land that imported more africans than any other to work on sugar plantations, and in brazil the soil is still perfect for sugar. cane grows in brazil today, but not always for sugar. instead, cane is often used to create ethanol, much as corn farmers in america now convert their harvest into fuel. –sugar changed the world, marc aronson and marina budhos how does this passage support the claim that sugar was tied to the struggle for freedom? it shows that the invention of beet sugar created competition for cane sugar. it shows that technology had a role in changing how we sweeten our foods. it shows that the beet sugar trade provided jobs for formerly enslaved workers. it shows that sweeteners did not need to be the product of sugar plantations and slavery.
