Webquest:
Paint Mount Rushmore Red
For the indigenous people known as the Sioux Nation,
in the 1870's, a defining moment of victory was at the Little Big Horn
and the single person was Crazy Horse. The defining humiliating defeat
was at Wounded Knee in 1890. 83 years later, in an atmosphere of a growing
civil rights movement in the United States, another battle occurred
at the same Wounded Knee. The single person who defined that era was
the one who paid for his involvement with a life of incarceration in
Leavenworth Prison where he is still serving two consecutive life sentences
today. His name is Leonard Peltier. A request for Leonard Peltier's
pardon lays in wait for President Clinton's approval or denial. Specifically,
your quest is to come to a conclusion that answers: Should Leonard Peltier
be set free by pardon or new trial?
