National Education Association's Department of Indian Education

Based on the two-volume set To Educate American Indians, this class will explore ten years, year-by-year, of the venues, changing pedagogical arguments, and various personalities involved in American Indian education from 1900-1909. Participants will gain a deeper understanding of the educational environment of the twentieth century's first decade when Native students attended boarding schools, both on and off reservations, and day schools on the reservations and the pedagogical arguments that drove those individual movements.
