On This Day | The History We Should Teach

Dunseith, N. D.—A staunch American patriot, a full-blood of the Turtle Mountain Chippewa Tribe, Rising Sun died at his home north of Dunseith on the 10th of December, at the age of 110 years, or thereabouts. No one knows his exact age. Interment was made in the St. Sylvan Cemetery, services being conducted by his pastor, Rev. W. Salt. Many people attended the funeral who considered it a privilege to be present to pay their last respects to the aged man. His wife died several years ago at the same place.

Why We Chose It
If you read the full article you'll find a story of a likely-fight that Rising Sun helped prevent. We learn all about the fights that happened, and that is easy to understand -- it's easier to learn about something that did happen as opposed to something that didn't. But those are the events that may serve the better lesson.
