I thought it was a wonderful movie too. If I have time, I'd show the whole movie to the class so that they can compare social conditions before and after colonization which served as impetus for rebellion and/or compliance.

I think a debate is a wonderful tool for this topic. I would assume that most of the class will take the stand for rebellion (the movie is very persuasive of this point of view) and not compliance. Therefore, I'd select a few high-achievers or give extra credit for those that are willing to take a stand for being compliant with foreign colonizers. The movie showed disagreements among the Seedig people regarding rebellion so I would piggy back on these few tribes and develop a rationale for their compliance.
