Write a paper concentrating on a revealing, significant, or unexpected similarity or difference in the textbook. The differences and similarities should be based on the experiences of Native Americans and white Americans or pertaining to both of these cultures’ stances on an issue you have chosen. You must base your comparison/contrast on one aspect of culture as it was expressed through Crazy Horse and Custer: The Parallel Lives of Two American Warriors. The object of this paper is to clearly present one cultural issue, the two stances on the issue, and then discussion of what you are learning. Think about what you are reading and analyze it in your own way.
