What is Webquest? In this issue of favorites, we list several, find
out what they are here: On July 4, 1776 our Founding Fathers signed their names to the Declaration
of Independence envisioning a country that would guarantee basic freedoms to all its citizens. However, events
in American history have not always supported these principles on which our country was founded. This lesson plan explores the controversy surrounding "Kennewick
Man," the name given to a skeleton discovered near Kennewick, Washington, in July 1996. Identified by scientists
as approximately 9,000 years old, Kennewick Man was claimed by five Northwestern tribes, who invoked their right
under NAGPRA, the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act, to rebury him in accordance with their
religious traditions. For the indigenous people known as the Sioux Nation, in the 1870's,
a defining moment of victory was at the Little Big Horn and the single person was Crazy Horse. The defining humiliating
defeat was at Wounded Knee in 1890. 83 years later, in an atmosphere of a growing civil rights movement in the
United States, another battle occurred at the same Wounded Knee. The single person who defined that era was the
one who paid for his involvement with a life of incarceration in Leavenworth Prison where he is still serving two
consecutive life sentences today. His name is Leonard Peltier. A request for Leonard Peltier's pardon lays in wait
for President Clinton's approval or denial. Specifically, your quest is to come to a conclusion that answers: Should
Leonard Peltier be set free by pardon or new trial? Protecting and restoring natural ecosystems and imperiled species through
science, education, policy, and environmental law.
A WebQuest is an inquiry-oriented activity in which most or all of the information used by learners is drawn from
the Web. WebQuests are designed to use learners' time well, to focus on using information rather than looking for
it, and to support learners' thinking at the levels of analysis, synthesis and evaluation
