Abstract

[The status of Native American education has improved radically since the days when Indian children where brutalized in boarding schools. In the 1970s, teachers at Round Rock School, a BIA-operated institution, revolted against the Bureau’s mandate to teach only English. The teachers would eventually win forcing the Bureau to moderate its view and allow Navajo language instruction (Locust, 1997). More recently, Tribal governments have been successful in contributing to, if not mandating, the curriculum for Tribal schools (Szasz, 1999). Tribal colleges succeed at varying levels; they survive and sometimes thrive. The existence of tribally run schools and colleges and the effort to introduce Native American-authorized curricula have had positive repercussions throughout the larger pan-Indian community (1999).]
