Learning from the Source: Comparing Reports of the Battle of Little Bighorn
Have students collaborate to compare U.S. newspaper coverage of the Battle of Little Bighorn with eyewitness accounts from Native Americans who were there. Ask them to compare descriptions of the battle as well as characterizations of opposing forces. Remind students to look for and note differences in tone, particularly as defined by word choice. You may also ask students to consider which sources in each group seem more or less reliable or how the sources might have influenced the information that was shared or both. Be sure to emphasize that students should support their conclusions with direct evidence.
