This book describes the impact of U.S. government civilization and
education policies on a Native American family and its tribe from
1763 to 1995. While engaged in a personal quest for his family's
roots in Choctaw tribal history, the author discovered a direct
relationship between educational policies and their impact on his
family and tribe. Combining personal narrative with traditional
historical methodology, the author details how federal education
policies concentrated power in a tribal elite that controlled its
own school system in which students were segregated by social class
and race.
The book begins with the cultural differences that existed between
Native Americans and European colonists. The civilization policies
discussed begin in the 1790s when both Presidents George Washington
and Thomas Jefferson searched for a means of gaining the lands
occupied by the southern tribes, including the Choctaws. The story
involves a complicated interaction between government policies, the
agenda of white educators, and the desires of Native Americans. In
a broader context, it is a study of the evolution of an American
family from the extended support of the community and clan of the
past, to the present world of single parents adrift without
community or family safety nets.
