The majority of American Indian students attend public schools in
the United States. However, education mandated for American Indian
students since the 1800s has been primarily education for
assimilation, with the goal of eliminating American Indian cultures
and languages. Indeed, extreme measures were taken to ensure Native
students would "act white" as a result of their involvement with
Western education. Today's educational mandates continue a
hegemonic "one-size-fits-all" approach to education. This is in
spite of evidence that these approaches have rarely worked for
Native students and have been extremely detrimental to Native
communities. This book provides information about the importance of
teaching American Indian students by bridging home and schools,
using students' cultural capital as a springboard for academic
success. Culturally Responsive Pedagogy is explored from its
earliest beginnings following the 1928 Meriam Report. Successful
education of Native students depends on all involved and respect
for the voices of American Indians in calling for education that
holds high expectations for native students and allows them to be
grounded in their cultures and languages.
