Abstract

The case discussion focuses on the different goals held by Korczak and Standing Bear. While Standing Bear had proposed the project to honor his relative Crazy Horse, Korczak grew to have a broader vision of the project focusing on all natives. Social injustices have occurred throughout history, and involving many different minority populations, but discussion of these topics in the classroom remain difficult. For example, recent protests, and particularly the response by the media, highlight that there is still a lack of understanding regarding what Native Americans value and how others can contribute to maintaining their unique culture.
