research question

Question:
What did the Native American leaders, Crazy Horse and Sitting Bull, do to try and stop white forces from invading their traditional ways of life, while trying to keep peace?


Edited Question:
Did the actions of Crazy Horse or Sitting Bull benefit or hurt the Native Americans in their fight to keep their traditional ways of life in the 19th century?


1. I am learning about the Native American leaders Crazy Horse and Sitting Bull
2. because I want to find out what actions they took to stop whites
3. in order to understand Native American resistance.

I am working on finding information about Crazy Horse and Sitting Bull. These two Native American men were well respected leaders of their tribes, and worked extremely hard to keep their traditions alive, which was difficult for them when whites were trying to destroy their ways of life after so many years of living the way they did. They, along with all other Native Americans, did not want to live how the whites lived. They viewed living as the best when it is the simplest.

  1. Interesting topics to research but your question provides for a bit too much of a straightforward answer. Think about how your question can lead to a bit more debatable of an answer. For example, did the actions of Sitting Bull or Crazy Horse help or hinder Native Americans rights and lifestyle in the 19th century?
