Blog Post #7

Technically, this isn't the 7th one, but it is the one with the outline.

Much of my current material is from on article called "Patriarchy Carved in Stone," which talks about the negative reactions of many Native Americans to Mount Rushmore. In fact, I learned while reading this article that at least two chiefs asked the sculptor of Mount Rushmore to include Crazy Horse as one of the heads. It seems like a natural train of thought from that to giving Crazy Horse his own memorial when that request was refused, and it was one of those same chiefs that started the project. Some of the paragraphs are kind of short now, and the paper will definitely need to be fleshed out through more research. Professor Petrik is kindly loaning me a book that I'm hoping will be very helpful in establishing further context for the memorial. I'm also still waiting on some stuff from my dad. He says that Chief Standing Bear had very particular reasons for choosing Korczak, but I haven't gotten any evidence for that yet. Download crazy_horse_outline.pdf

I still haven't posted my bibliography, so I'm going at this a little backwards. I just finished the outline, out here in San Francisco, and wanted to post it before life got too crazy again.

Yeah I think it would definitely add to your paper if you could figure out why they chose Korczak to do the monument. Your outline looks great you really have a lot of information on the monument and I think your paper is going to be very interesting to read!
