'Man did not weave the web of life: he is merely a strand in it.
Whatever he does to the web, he does to himself.'

Quote 1 -"We only ask an even chance to live as other men live.... We ask that the same law shall work alike on all men... Let me be a free man - free to travel, free to stop, free to work, free to trade where I choose, free to choose my own teachers, free to follow the religion of my fathers, free to think and talk and act for myself." - Nez Percé Chief Joseph. Quote 2 - "Could it not be contrived to send the small pox among the disaffected tribes of Indians? We must on this ocasion use every stratagem in our power to reduce them. . . You will do well as to try to inoculate the Indians by means of blankets, as well as to try every other method that can serve to extirpate this execrable race. I should be very glad your for hunting them down by dogs could take effect, but England is too great a distance to think of that at present..." - Sir Jeffery Amherst, 1763, Commander in Chief of British forces in the Colonies, letters to his field commander. A Setting - The Axe, the Plow and the Hearth: "In the early days, before the coming of the white man, many Indians lived in what we know as Fairfield County, violet Township, and the village of Pickerington. These were chiefly Wyandot Indians, but there were also representatives of other tribes such as the Shawnees and the Mingos. Cornstalk was the chief of the Shawnees, and the famous Indian orator, Logan, of the Mingos..." Pickerington pioneer heritage. Advice on Teaching Children about Native Americans - "Much remains to be done to counter stereotypes of Native Americans. Teachers must provide accurate instruction about history but also about the contemporary lives of Native Americans."... This digest by Debbie Reese, a Pueblo Indian who works in childhood education, is in the public domain and may be freely reproduced. Some poetry, and a fine contact: Whispered to rose-cheeked youth In time of supple limb, but Ecstatic song in 'West Wind' dispelled So incongruous a face Before silver rise'morrow. ˆ Chris Angel.

Exemple de séquence: les élèves de Terminale Européenne de M. Alain Nowak à Metz ont travaillé sur la question indienne aux États-Unis à partir de la page US Indian Policy . Un groupe a travaillé sur le portrait de lŠApache rétro-projeté sans les commentaires de lŠauteur. Il sŠagissait de décrire, puis dŠimaginer une histoire dont ce portrait serait un plan fixe. Un autre groupe a travaillé sur le même portrait pour tenter dŠen percer l'interprétation, toujours sans commentaires. Un autre a consulté les règles de conduite à respecter quand on visite une réserve Indienne. Il sŠagissait de se saisir d'une règle, dŠimaginer un incident - quŠun touriste ne la respecte pas, et un conflit prend naissance. Puis de rédiger le dialogue, avec lŠaide de l'assistante dŠanglais pour la fluidité. Le quatrième groupe a mené une recherche historique sur lŠépisode de Wounded Knee, afin de présenter un exposé à toute la classe. Le dernier, enfin, a mené une recherche sur la Page Internet de M.Alain Nowak, en quête des stéréotypes que les Indiens tentent de démystifier. La semaine suivante, grâce au le lien dŠactualité de la Page dŠanglais sur la fête de Thanksgiving, les élèves retrouvaient Indiens et gens du Mayflower à Plymouth... Voir aussi : Apache story. Indian Policy Documents. THE FIRST AMERICANS: A long time ago North America was very different from the way it is today. There were no highways, cars, or cities.
