Description
Your students will be introduced to the key players of the battle as well as some of the controversy related to the conflict. Many students are aware of the westward expansion and the Native Americans’ loss of land but may not fully understand the Battle of Bighorn’s impact on the relations between Native Americans and settlers in America.
This lesson plan will give your students the opportunity to think about why a group of people would be forcibly removed from their homes or lands. By the end of this lesson, your students will have a deeper understanding of what took place during this pivotal moment in American history.
