Return: Home CEEP Publications ERIC/EECE Publications Digests Teaching Young Children about Native Americans Debbie Reese EDO-PS-96-3
    May 1996 Young children's conceptions of Native Americans often develop out of media portrayals and classroom role playing of the events of the First Thanksgiving. The conception of Native Americans gained from such early exposure is both inaccurate and potentially damaging to others. For example, a visitor to a child care center heard a four-year-old saying, "Indians aren't people. They're all dead." This child had already acquired an inaccurate view of Native Americans, even though her classmates were children of many cultures, including a Native American child. Derman-Sparks ( ) asserts that by failing to challenge existing biases we allow children to adopt attitudes based on inaccuracies. Her book is a guide for developing curriculum materials that reflect cultural diversity. This digest seeks to build on this effort by focusing on teaching children in early childhood classrooms about Native Americans. Note that this digest, though it uses the term "Native American," recognizes and respects the common use of the term "American Indian" to describe the indigenous people of North America. While it is most accurate to use the tribal name when speaking of a specific tribe, there is no definitive preference for the use of "Native American" or "American Indian" among tribes or in the general literature.

    AMERICAN INDIAN STEREOTYPES IN THE WORLD OF CHILDREN: A READER AND BIBLIOGRAPHY by Arlene Hirschfelder, Paulette Fairbanks Molin (Minnesota Chippewa Tribe from the White Earth Reservation), and Yvonne Wakin (Cherokee/Arab) (Scarecrow, 1999). Notably Chapter 5 is Reading is Fundamental for Truths or Stereotypes . Look for second (1999) edition.
    A BROKEN FLUTE: THE NATIVE EXPERIENCE IN BOOKS FOR CHILDREN , edited by Doris Seale and Beverly Slapin (AltaMira Press, 2005). If you are teaching children's literature to prospective teachers, Head Start staff, librarians or others who make vital decisions about acquisition and use of appropriate books for kids, you have got to own this book. It critically reviews and assesses the cultural authenticity and historical accuracy of the past twen years with a particular scrutiny for th etaint of misinformation, cultural theft, and lack of balance. Reviews and articles from 60 contributors (including Michael Lacapa, Cynthia Leitich Smith, and Joseph Bruchac) defend great books and lambast poor ones for their indefensible colonialism, white entitlement, approbation of cultural genocide, and whitewashing of the Indian holocaust. Highly recommended. Excerpted from recommendation by Gwynne Spencer.

    Exploring Native Americans Across the Curriculum
    Blast stereotypes with across-the-curriculum activities for students of all ages. Stereotypes of Native Americans abound in movies and on TV, in literature and in history books. "Teachers must provide accurate instruction not only about history but also about the contemporary lives of Native Americans," writes Debbie Reese in Teaching Young Children About Native Americans , a 1996 ERIC Digest. Reese is a Pueblo Indian who studies and works in the field of early childhood education. Stereotype is a difficult issue to define in any culture, especially in the Native American culture. As noted in A Line in the Sand , a Web site dedicated to the debate surrounding Native American stereotypes and other issues: "We want to be careful to note that this 'line in the sand' will not lie at the same place for everyone. ...We must recognize that not all Native American communities have had the same historical experience, either before or after 1492. For this reason, the members of these communities will have different opinions. There will be different opinions both between and within communities, just as there are in all human communities."

    ERASING NATIVE AMERICAN STEREOTYPES
    How can we avoid stereotypes about Native Americans when we are teaching, selecting textbooks, or designing exhibits and public programs? Cultural institutions reflect current issues of society. Both museums and schools are wrestling with new sensitivities and concerns with cultural diversity. For instance, at a recent Smithsonian symposium on Contemporary American Indian Art, several Native American artists asked why their paintings and sculpture are rarely shown at fine arts museums, but are more likely to be exhibited at anthropology and natural history museums. Native American artists also question why their work is not combined with other American artists' work in shows on American art (Kaupp, 1990). In directing an alternative school for Native American children in Chicago, June Sark Heinrich found many misnomers and false ideas presented by teachers as they instructed students about the history and the heritage of Native peoples. She devised ten classroom "don'ts" to help teachers correct these common errors. The D'Arcy McNickle Center for the History of the American Indian at the Newberry Library in Chicago recently began designing a sample checklist for evaluating books about American Indian history.

    Subj: Teach. Nat. Am. Rel.
    I am submitting this query simultaneously to two electronic discussion groupsone on religious studies, the other on Native American issuesto invite reflection on three questions: 1. Should or should not European Americans be teaching courses on Native American religions? 2. If we should not, why not, and what would be the results of our deferral? 3. If we should, how best can we proceed? I am giving much thought these days to the question of cultural imperialism, especially in two of its forms, namely, religious and academic imperialism. While on leave, I have been asked by the Department of Religious Studies at the University of Colorado, Boulder, to teach a very large, publicly visible introductory course on Native American religions. Vine Deloria teaches here. So does Sam Gill. So does Ward Churchill. So does Deward Walker. Even without David Carrasco, soon on his way to Princeton, this is an sizeable concentration of authorities, of various sorts, on indigenous cultures, politics, law, and religions. Ordinarily, I teach courses on indigenous religions at Wilfrid Laurier, a small Canadian university where I can do what I do in relative obscurity, that is, at considerable remove from indigenous populations of the American Southwest, where I do most of my field work, and at a considerable remove from high-profile scholars whose names are regularly associated with Native American studies.

American Indians and Alaska Natives maintain their tribal traditions, religion, and languages. At the same time, they strive to assimilate modern technologies. Nonetheless, many students in American schools know comparatively little about the native populations of their own country. This Digest gives teachers realistic information about this growing population. It identifies some of the common myths about American Indians and Alaska Natives that contribute to curriculum bias. The concluding discussion suggests activities and resources to help elementary studentsand their teachersunderstand the realities of how Indians live today and how they lived in the past.

    Native Peoples of the Great Lakes Region
    Origins
    Indians, or Native Peoples, were the original inhabitants of North America and the Great Lakes region. In fact, Native Peoples inhabited the continent tens of thousands of years before the arrival of settlers from Europe and the Far East. By the 16th century, the Native Peoples of North America had evolved into widely different cultures. Notable tribes around the Great Lakes included people we now call the Chippewa, Fox, Huron, Iroquois, Ottawa, Potawatomi and Sioux. Click for larger map! Approximately 120 bands of Native Peoples have occupied the Great Lakes basin over the course of history. In the United States, Native Peoples are also referred to as American Indians or Native Americans. In Canada, tribes are called First Nations. In the Ontario region alone, more than 75 bands of First Nations are reported. A band is based on kinship and family affiliation. A nuclear family is part of a clan (cousins), a clan is part of a band (aunts, uncles, extended cousins), and a collection of bands make up a tribe. Tribes are traditionally highly organized, politically autonomous groups.

    For Younger Students:
    Our Homes Past And Present Have you and your students ever wondered why the tipis, igloos, and pueblos have come to represent the sum of stereotypical Native American homes? If you were a native child living as a member of a particular tribe, what determined the type of house you lived in? You now have the chance to understand the cultural and spiritual meanings of native tribal homes. Your students' task is the following:
    • Explore several Web sites and determine what type of homes you might have seen crossing this country as a non-native individual.
      • Why did the native people live in this type of home?
      • Why was it constructed of the chosen material?
      • Was it transported, and how?
      • Did the Native Americans have different dwellings at different times of the year?
      • Are their spiritual beliefs connected to the dwelling, materials, or even how the dwelling is entered?
      • Presently, are there occasions in which tribal members still use these types of homes?

The term came from the Algonkian-speaking Narragansett Indians of the Northeastern part of the country we call today the United States. The word referred, not to a dance or celebration, but to a shaman or teacher, a dream or vision, or a council or gathering. When the English met with Indian leaders they would "powwow together," or in Indian society one might visit a "powwow" because of his or her healing powers.

    By Jon Reyhner, Harry Lee and David Gabbard
    As tribal colleges add teacher education programs, those involved with shaping the content of such programs are presented with many exciting opportunities and challenges. Though there may be pressures exerted by accreditation agencies and state departments of education to adopt the basic structures of established teacher education programs, tribal college curriculum developers need to act with caution and be aware of the ideological orientation reflected in those structures. This paper outlines a proposed additional knowledge base that can be adopted by beginning teachers of American Indian and Alaska Native (hereafter referred to as Native) students. This additional knowledge base is above and beyond what is now in most mainstream teacher education programs. First, we discuss the idea of a knowledge base for teacher education and explain the need for a specialized knowledge base for Native education. Second, various aspects of that specialized knowledge base are outlined. We begin with the area of educational foundations, and then we describe specialized instructional methodologies and curriculum appropriate for Native students. Finally, we describe needed internship and student teaching opportunities.

    Native American Student Panel Summary
    Jon Reyhner and Deborah House
    The student panel was held May 5, 1995, in the evening and was presided over by Selena Manychildren, Kii yaa' áani clan, Todích'íi' ní, Nakai Diné, originally from Grey Mountain, 45 miles from Flagstaff, Arizona. Participating students were Sylvia Wadsworth from Navajo Community College (NCC) Shiprock Campus; Carlos Begay, Byron Charley, and Velma Hale from NCC-Tsaile Campus; and Malcolm Benally, Theresa Yazzie, Karen Andrews, Sharon Bitah, and Claudia Chischilly from Northern Arizona University. Sylvia Wadsworth addressed the first question: "Is it worth your time to learn your language?" She answered "I appreciate my Navajo language. I'm glad I learned it and can understand, read and write it. My three kids speak Navajo; they were taught by my mom and dad." Sylvia was punished for speaking Navajo, and she first thought it would slow her kids down. But she changed her mind and concluded, "Our Navajo language is who we are." She has thought of ways to teach students in Navajo. She tells them to try to think about it and it will come to them. "As long as you can freely communicate in the classroom, it's OK. I'm glad I'm one of those who's helping them. I'm proud to be a Navajo, and speak, write, and understand." Carlos Begay responded, "The way I think about traditional language, through it I respect my elders. I have spoken Navajo from birth. I appreciate it and these sessions. I truly believe it's good. It's worth it that you're doing it for our youth and the next generation. Maybe we'll get back to traditions. Now there's graffiti, baggy pants, and caps on backwards that's not our people. We need to get back to tradition."

    NATIVE AMERICANS
    Table of Contents: Resources Organizations Other Books and Videos
    Introduction
    A major area of concern about teaching strategies and administration for minorities is to ensure that cultural issues are addressed in student, curriculum, and teacher preparation projects. Suggested approaches were hands-on cooperative learning experiences and holistic teaching that promotes mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual well-being in each student. This is the foundation on which American Indian/Alaska Native individuals have based their societies for centuries. (After: The American Indian Science and Engineering Society's Research and Evaluation Department three day conference in 1994. The purpose of this conference was to develop guidelines for educators to ensure that the cultural needs and issues of American Indian/Alaska Native precollege students would be addressed in math, science, and technology programs. Native students may be better served if we focus on "What teaching accommodations have proven most effective in helping Native students succeed?" rather than " How do Native students learn?" The following strategies are taken from a variety of sources, books, journal articles, etc. and represent a broad range of ideas. It is important to recognize that each native student is an individual and that every interactive learning situation is unique, so instructors must use their judgment, find what works best, and avoid stereotyping students. As instructions progress, keep in mind that every family unit and every Native American Nation will have it's own cultural values and customs.
