Document Summary
Native societies were assumed to have no educational systems and to lack verbal, cognitive, and motor skills necessary for traditional schooling environments. Don"t understand and recognize the strengths of indigenous schools. Stripped children of their native language (boarding schools) Did not understand english but were still expected to follow directions and expectations given to them and set in english. Silence was a primary discipline and weapon. Many teachers and scholars identify indian schools and specifically students as one-dimensional learners. Characterize indians as stereotypes (natural environment and seen as visual learners) We are not one-dimensional learners, and we need a good balance between all different types and styles of learning. Authors strive to show how elaborate their culture is and hopefully increase cultural understanding and appreciation. Explain who we are and what we see. Native people wrote life histories that gave us a glimpse into their history and life. Responsibility of learners to discover the truth.
