Dances With Wolves

We are watching this film because it portrays the interaction/clash between Native Americans and white European Americans in the Great Plains during the second half of the 1800's.

As you watch Dances with Wolves, please answer the

following questions in your book.

1.   What type of medical care is available to soldiers during the Civil War?  How does it differ for officers and enlisted men (normal soldier)?
normal soldier has no medical care only amputation

2.   From the end of the Civil War (1865) to the Spanish-American War (1898), the U.S. Army's primary deployment was in the Plains, fighting the "Indian Wars."  What tactics did the Army use to fight against the Natives?

3.   How does John Dunbar change?  What is his attitude when he first creates his post?

4.   What is assimilation?  How does Dunbar assimilate into Sioux culture?

5.   Two Native tribes are referenced in the film (Sioux and Pawnee).  How do their approaches differ in dealing with whites?  Which is the better approach?  Why do you think so?

6.   Native Americans and white European Americans view natural resources and land differently.  Explain this difference, paying particular attention to the hunting/use of buffalo ("tatonka") and land ownership.

7.   Predict: How will the army respond to Dunbar’s assimilation once they catch up with him?

They tell this to Chief Ten Bears, who decides it is time to move the village to its winter camp.

Dunbar realizes that his _____horse_________, left behind at the deserted fort, is a map for finding the Sioux. It reveals that he knows far too much about their ways.
