Indian School History
Indian Education History, From the first attempts at educating American Indians, the goal has been to change them. The Jesuits attempted change by acquainting the Indian with the French manner, French customs, and French language.
The Protestants tried to Anglicize Indians and prepare them for a "civilized" life. The Franciscans worked to bring Indians into the mainstream by making them missionaries.
Schools were established as further attempts at "civilizing and converting" the natives.
Every attempt at changing the American Indian and, now, the Alaska Native has met with failure or minimal success. Early approaches at changing the American Indian are explained in an 1899 statement by a top government Indian affairs official:
"The settled policy of the government is to breakup the reservations, destroy tribal relations, settle Indians upon their own homesteads, incorporate them into the national life, and deal with them not as nations and tribes or bands, but as individual citizens. The American Indian is to become the Indian American...
Indian School History, As this statement makes clear, Indian education policies have historically had two thrusts: isolation and assimilation. Both these thrusts have been challenged by Indian people: "Indians today are deeply concerned with getting effective and relevant education for their children. They want the educational system to reflect tribal values and their way of life,and they feel they ought to influence and exercise control over this education."
Let me be a free man-free to travel, free to stop, free to work, free to trade where I choose, free to choose my own teachers, free to follow the religion of my fathers, free to think and talk and act for myself-and I will obey every law, or submit to the penalty."
Indian Education History, Indian School aims at greatness but greatness should not be achieved by any means. It should be realized only through goodness namely good, just and legal activities.
All the students should be aware, if whatever we do is not good, it can never be called great Goodness should precede every action .
