Native American children's identities are under "assault" daily, and they cannot be successful students unless teachers build their self-esteem. This according to course catalog language for the "American Indian Education" minor at Humboldt State University in Arcata, California.
The American Indian Education minor provides learners with an understanding of the special educational needs of American Indian students along with the skills to apply methodologies and classroom practices conducive to academic success and the validating of cultural identity and values.Having a positive self-identity and strong cultural affirmation is key for the success of any student in school and in life. But American Indian students face assaults on their identity and culture on a daily basis.....ITEPP's Curriculum Resource Center provides students, teachers, and community members with curricular resources and materials to facilitate the study of American Indian cultures, provide curricular assistance for K-12 schools, mitigate cultural miscommunication, and facilitate cultural inclusion and understanding for all people.
Silly me. Here I thought something like reading immersion might be a good place to start.
