Education and Native Americans: Schooling and Cultural Values Darlene St. Clair
Omie Baldwin Rachele Agoyo
Room 120, English
Schooling for native peoples in the United States began with missionary schools advocating spiritual salvation and education, but were later replaced by schools operated by the federal government. No matter who operated the schools, the goal for many decades has been to detribalize and assimilate the natives into mainstream societies. Today, educational policies are allowing tribes to have more of a voice about the school curriculum, and a number of tribes are now investing in their own colleges. The panelists will present how these changes are changing the contemporary status of some native communities. This program is a part of a series of programs highlighting the beliefs and practices of Native American peoples for the 2004 Pariliament.
