"Savage" Classwork

A. we are trying to put ourselves in the place of a white american in 1887 learning about the savage people of the west.

Savage - An unorganized and unintelligent person living in the wild with no understanding of of ethics or structure. A primitive type of living.

B. I would believe that the people exploring were there to save them and give them the more extravagant things in life like books or new ways of living. The explorers were trying to help them by showing them the ways of civilized life and showing them new ways of living. The book makes the Indians sound like the bad guys about how the civilized people were there to save them, but all the Indians did was decline their thoughts and took them hostage or tried to kill them. It is similar to the bombings in the middle east by the US now, we as citizens of the US think we are helping them, but the people living there want us to stop the bombings.
