Description

The teaching of Native American children has always been controversial. This volume puts their schooling in the broader context of the country’s educational agenda. It offers an overview of Native American education, from Colonial times to the beginning of the 21st century. It examines the emerging curriculum in Native American education and surveys continued stereotyping and ethnic assumption. It analyzes the foundations of Indian learning, from spiritual and extended family relationships to contemporary militancy. It covers federal treaties with Indians and discusses the role of the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) and the Office of Indian Education (OIE). It also provides a roster of tribes and their geographical locations.
