"Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee" questions
6A: In chapter 1, the author provides an overview of the history of Native
American and European/American relations from 1492-1890. Why do you think the
author included this information? What consequences have the Native American people
faced from their interactions with European settlers? Why have attempts at peace
failed?

Jackson's policies regarding the 5 civilized tribes and the passage of the Indian
Removal Act from page 5 to the very top of page 8. Identify and cite at least 5 examples
of the author having bias. Explain why the passage you cited contains a bias point of
view and describe that point of view. Emphasize key words which demonstrate bias
from your examples. Compare your examples to the passage on page 368 of the
previous assignment (US History Ch 10 Review & Assessment). What are the most
noticeable differences in how the authors present their point of view? Be specific.
