;Dances with Wolves;Background;Background;Background; ; 本文选自印第安人女作家伊丽莎白．库克-林创作的反映印第安人生活的同名小说。 印第安人在美国倍受歧视，多数仍生活在政府为他们划定的、边远贫瘠的居留地内。六七十年代，在轰轰烈烈的黑人民权运动的影响下，印第安人也掀起了反对种族歧视、争取合法权益的斗争。 1968年美国印第安人争取民权的战斗组织“美国印第安人运动”正式成立，要求经济独立，复兴传统文化，保护合法权利，特别是印第安人部落的地区自制和恢复他们认为被非法剥夺的土地。当时印第安人为抗议政府违反协议，占领了阿尔卡特拉斯岛Alcatraz Island （1969~1971），并于1972年向华盛顿进军，占领了印第安人事务局的办公大楼。各地印第安人的民权运动如火如荼。 故事的主人公、年轻的印第安人喜鹊的思想也产生了很大变化，他从向往到大学学习、进入主流社会，发展到积极参加民权运动、抗议政府对印第安人的歧视。喜鹊思想的变化和他被无故枪杀，不能不引起我们对美国所标榜的“人权”、“自由”、“平等”的深思。;Native American occupation;;Custer County South Dakota ;Custer City, Oklahoma ;Discuss;Words and expressions;1.agitate: vt. to make sb feel angry, anxious or nervous 使焦虑不安，困扰 This remark seems to agitate her guest. vi. ~ for/against sth : to argue strongly for sth you want, especially for changes in a law, in social condition. etc. （尤指为法律和社会状况的改变而）激烈争论、鼓动、煽动 This political group has been agitating for social reforms.
