Welcome to CBVI@GMHC

Homework for Dec 13

This month students will be reading the book Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee

Name_________________________

By February 1865, Manuelito still refused to surrender to Carleton’s troops. The U.S. army arranged for Manuelito to speak to some of the chiefs already living in Bosque Redondo. The chiefs warned Manuelito that he was risking his people’s lives by refusing to surrender. They confirmed some of the rumors Manuelito had heard about the horrible quality of life on the reservation. Manuelito again refused to surrender. When Carleton heard the news, he ordered his troops to capture Manuelito. In response, the U.S. army was instructed to kill every Navaho found off the reservation. In September 1865, Manuelito entered Bosque Redondo with his weary, starving people and surrendered. Shortly after Manuelito’s surrender, Carleton was relieved of his command and replaced with a new reservation superintendent, A. B. Norton. Norton recommended to his superiors that the Navahos be relocated to a place with clean water and fertile soil, so that the U.S. government could save money and help the Navahos become self-sufficient. For the next two years, many of the government employees who supervised the reservation adopted a similar tone
