This week we explored the “Indian Wars” as viewed through Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz’ An Indigenous Peoples History of the United States. For this week’s discussion board, imagine that you are describing this conflict to another student who is not a member of this class and using Dunbar-Ortiz’s text explain to them the answers to the following questions: What was the root cause of this conflict? Who were the players? How many factions were there? and finally how did the various sides view what was happening? (200 words – Worth 20 points)

Then respond to another student’s post and suggest how the text either supports or challenges their position. (100 words – Worth 10 Points)
