dc.description.abstract | Racism and Euro-American education have played huge roles in the destruction of identity in the American Indian population. This research paper explores research about racism toward the American Indians, past American Indian education and the present status of American Indian education to give educators a better understanding of their American Indian students. This research shows the torment that American Indian students go through in school. There is also a brief description of what many American Indian students went through in boarding schools. The discussion continues on to give background information on the progression of American Indian education during the past century. Also, the paper brings together what the present status of American Indian education looks like. In spite of continued dismal dropout rates, there are schools and programs that have nurtured successful students. These successes appear to be a result of respecting the American Indian student’s culture, integrating American Indian culture into the curriculum, involving community members and parents in the education process, and teaching culturally relevant and appropriate material. Being able to bring all the pieces of the puzzle together in education equals meaningful and successful outcomes for many American Indian students. | |
