Pre-Viewing Questions
1. Many Native American reservations are sovereign tribal lands; some were created by treaties, while others resulted from forced removal. Today many face poverty, unemployment, health problems, and loss of land and culture. Pine Ridge is one example that Huey documents.

Historical Context
1. The 1868 Fort Laramie Treaty guaranteed the Lakota the Black Hills. In 1874, Custer’s expedition found gold there, and in 1877 the U.S. seized the Black Hills. The 1887 Dawes Act divided tribal land into individual allotments; in 1889 the Great Sioux Reservation was split into smaller reservations; in 1890 came the Wounded Knee Massacre. Later events, including the 1973 Wounded Knee occupation and continuing neglect, shaped conditions on Pine Ridge today.
2. U.S. policies broke treaty promises, took land, tried to force assimilation, and broke up communal land. This weakened tribal sovereignty and economies and caused lasting trauma and distrust. It contributed to poverty, poor health, unemployment, and social problems on many reservations.
Photographic Narrative
1. Huey combines documentary portraits, landscapes, and archival photographs with statistics and captions. He puts human faces on policy decisions and makes historical causes visible, so viewers see Native people as present and complex rather than as stereotypes.
2. His images aim to create empathy, sorrow, shock, anger, and a sense of urgency. They also encourage compassion and respect, not just pity.
Critical Thinking Questions
1. Native communities are a small share of the population and are often geographically isolated. Mainstream media tend to focus on dramatic, celebrity, or conflict stories; there are few Native journalists and voices in newsrooms; stereotypes and the idea that this is “only history” make current issues seem distant; poverty and political marginalization also reduce coverage.
2. Visual storytelling can make an abstract injustice concrete and memorable. A human face creates emotional connection, challenges stereotypes, and is easy to share. It works best with accurate context and Native voices, so it informs rather than exploits.
Reflection Questions
1. Sample answer: “I was most surprised that the Black Hills had been guaranteed to the Lakota by the 1868 treaty and were still taken after gold was discovered. That made the phrase ‘broken treaties’ very concrete for me.”
2. I could share accurate information, give a short class presentation, support Native-led organizations, and challenge stereotypes when I hear them. I would point people to Native sources rather than speak for them.
