Read the following excerpt from The Loner. After the third paragraph, type two facts you learn about sheep or shepherding. Use e

xact words from the excerpt. "What do they do then?" "They fool the ewe. They skin her dead lamb and put its wool on the bum. They make slits for the legs and one for the neck and then they slip it over the bum and give him to the ewe. Funniest thing you ever saw. The lamb has two tails and eight legs." Boss whirled on him. "Dum? They're not dum. They're just about the most helpless creatures alive. They've lost all their instinct to take care of themselves because they haven't had to. But it isn't their fault. It's man's. He's bred all the wild animal's independence and cunning out of them for his own gain, to have their meat and their wool with the least possible bother from them. Don't ever use that word about them again in my hearing. I won't have it!"

Which of the following best summarizes the circumstances Chief Red Cloud and his people were facing before they were placed on r
vitfil [10]

The right answer is "B Red Cloud describes the situation as bleak; with little food and fading traditions, they felt one of their only choices was to agree to reservation life and adopt white American ways."

In 1871, the government established the Red Cloud Agency on the Platte River, downstream from Fort Laramie. As outlined in the 1868 Treaty, the agency staff were responsible for issuing weekly rations to the Oglala, as well as providing the annually distributed supply of cash and annuity goods. The agent and Washington officials would determine how much of the annuity was to be paid in cash or goods, and sometimes the supplies were late, in poor condition, inadequate in amount, or never arrived at all. Red Cloud took his band to the agency (a predecessor of the Native American reservation) and tried to help them in the transition to a different way of life. In the fall of 1873, the agency was removed to the upper White River in northwestern Nebraska.
