I would like to submit the following online resource to
Module 1. This resource for New Perspectives on the West is a great and easy to
navigate online resource for a variety of Native American subjects. I have used
this particular website for additional information about Crazy Horse but it can
very easily be used for others as well. Other biographical information is
included on such people as Kit Carson, John M. Chivington, Red Cloud, and Chief
Joseph. The website is arranged with the biographies in alphabetical order
which does make it easier to find the person who you need to gain more
information on. I have really enjoyed using this website as a resource for more
personal information for my ‘voice’ and hopefully will give you more insight as
well.
When I chose a particular subject such as Chief Crazy Horse,
the next page that pops up is a short but very informing biography about him.
The short biography has additional links built in to the page that gives you
links to some important information that has to deal with the person who you
have chosen. When I chose to click on the “Fort Laramie Treaty” link, it leads
to another page that outlines and describes the seventeen Articles of the Treaty
that was completed in 1868. Just the amount of information that is available
about the treaty is complete subject on its own. One can go through and read
the entire Treaty or just use what is needed.
This resource website has reaffirmed that the way I feel
about Crazy Horse is still true, that he was a fiercely determined leader who
wanted to preserve his peoples’ traditional way of life.
