Question

Read the excerpt from "Rebuilding the Cherokee Nation.”

I can’t tell you how many everyday Americans that I’ve talked with who’ve visited a tribal community in Oklahoma or in other places, and they’ve looked around and they saw all the social indicators of decline: high infant mortality, high unemployment, many, many other very serious problems among our people, and they always ask, "What happened to these people? Why do native peoples have all these problems?”, and I think that in order to understand the contemporary issues we’re dealing with today and how we plan to dig our way out . . . you have to understand a little bit about history.

Read Lily’s paraphrase of the excerpt.

Wilma Mankiller cannot say how many people she has talked to who visit a tribe and see evidence that things are not going well and then ask questions about why Indigenous people have so many problems. She thinks that, in order to comprehend the modern problems tribal communities have, people have to do research into history.

Read the excerpt from "Rebuilding the Cherokee Nation.”

Our tribal council had no idea how to run a school for girls, and so they sent a group of emissaries to Mount Holyoke and asked the head of Mount Holyoke to send some teachers back to show us how to put together a school for girls. So we built an educational system and began this process of healing and rebuilding ourselves as a people.
