HIS 100 Module Three Activity Template: Revising Questions
Replace the bracketed text below with your responses.
Identify the topic you chose to explore:
The Wounded Knee Occupation
Identify a historical perspective that could be applied to your historical event.
I believe the historical perspective that could be applied to The Wounded Knee Occupation
would be the political perspective. Not so much on the political side, but more so on people who
have power and people who don’t.
Revise your research question based on evidence from your primary and secondary sources.
How did the Wounded Knee Occupation affect the lives of Native Americans during and after the
massacre?
How did the Wounded Knee Occupation bring awareness to Native American rights and the fight
against injustice within the United States?
Explain how historical perspective and evidence from sources influenced your finalized research
question.
After doing more research and reading more of the events that occurred during the Wounded
Knee Occupation, it influenced me to create more of a deeper research question rather than
how it could have affected them during and after the occupation. I want to explore more what
was done after the occupation, and what was done after the many lives lost of men, women, and
children were lost. Since the occupation was broadcasted everywhere during the occupation did
that bring enough awareness to the injustice brought against Native Americans?
