27 Essential Question! ❖ How can we determine the truth about Greg Mortenson?

28 Three Cups of Deceit Jon Krakauer ❖ Read from pages 9 and 10 (begin after quote from American Himalayan Foundation Newsletter, Summer 1994). ❖ Mohammed Ali Changazi is Haji Ali’s adopted son! ❖ It was Changazi who introduced Greg Mortenson to Haji Ali. Greg’s supplies to build a school in Khane were locked up in Changazi’s warehouse in Skardu. After Greg talked to Haji Ali Greg decided to build the school in Korphe where Haji Ali was an elder and chief. Before this meeting, Greg had never set foot in Korphe!

29 “... Skardu. There, the building materials were unloaded at a compound owned by Mohammed Ali Changazi, the tour operator and trekking agent who had managed the logistics for Mortenson’s K2 expedition the previous year. When Mortenson arrived in Skardu in 1994, he intended to build the school in Khane village, as he’d pledged to Akhmalu in 1993. But Mortenson had discussed his plans with Changazi, who tipped off the chieftain of a village called Korphe—a Balti elder named Haji Ali—who had legally adopted Changazi as a boy” (page 9).
