The
Education of Native Americans
This
essay discusses the development of Native American schools.
The primary goal of many of these schools was to teach the
Native American children how to be "American citizens."
With a group of classmates, discuss how Canassatego might
have felt about schools such as the Carlisle Indian Industrial
School and the Red Cloud Indian School.
American
Indian Education
This
site by the California Board of Education identifies the needs
of its Native American students and offers help for educators
looking to provide high-quality educational opportunities
for these students. In your Web
Links Activity Log, write a paragraph explaining whether
these goals align with Canassatego’s views of a "quality
education."
