Historical Guilt
Native Americans and Historical Guilt
Many of you have already seen this video, as I use it frequently to illustrate the concept of historical guilt. However, I think it is a great jumping off place for a discussion.
Watch the above documentary, and answer the following questions.
1. Where is the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation Located?
2. What are conditions on the Reservation like? Provide some examples.
3. What are the causes of the problems on the reservation?
4. What should be done? What, if any, responsibility to we as modern Americans bear, for the situation on Pine Ridge, and other Reservations like them. Explain
