Part A How did the experience of witnessing the “white men, who came, year after year, to cheat [Native Americans] and take away
their lands” shape Black Hawk’s viewpoint? It created a sense of apathy, leading him to believe that nothing can be done to reverse the damage. It encouraged him to embrace his own death so he can serve as a moral beacon to guide fellow Native Americans.
