This document records testimony from a hearing held on April 22, 2015 on the topic of challenges that are faced by Native American schools. Nearly a century ago the Federal Government made a promise to deliver to Native American children a quality education that just doesn't teach math and science, but preserves their customs and culture. Unfortunately, the Federal Government is failing to keep its promise to these vulnerable children. Too many schools lack adequate infrastructure and educational resources, compromising the health, safety, and future postsecondary and professional opportunities of the children they are supposed to be serving. Despite the many obstacles that stand in the way of these students and educators, their resiliency and determination to create better lives for themselves is nothing short of inspiring. They understand the importance of an education and the opportunities it will afford them. Statement were presented by: (1) Honorable Todd Rokita, Chairman, Subcommittee on Early Childhood, Elementary, and Secondary Education, U.S. House of Representatives; and (2) Honorable Marcia Fudge, Ranking Member, Subcommittee on Early Childhood, Elementary, and Secondary Education, U.S. House of Representatives. Statement of Witnesses were presented by: (1) Jill Burcum, Editorial Writer Minneapolis Star Tribune, Minneapolis, MN; (2) Brian Cladoosby, President, National Congress of American Indians, Embassy of Tribal Nations, Washington, DC; (3) Roman Nose, Executive Director, Tribal Education Departments National Assembly, Boulder, CO; and (4) Melissa Emrey-Arras, Director, Education, Workforce and Income Security Issues, U.S. Government Accountability Office, Boston, MA. Additional submissions included: (1) Melissa Emrey-Arras: statement visuals; (2) Marcia L. Fudge: a prepared statement of Honorable Rick Nolan, a Representative in Congress from the State of Minnesota; and (3) Quinton Roman Nose: prepared statement.

Unpacks the twenty-one most common myths and misconceptions about Native Americans In this enlightening book, scholars and activists Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz and Dina Gilio-Whitaker tackle a wide range of myths about Native American culture and history that have misinformed generations. Tracing how these ideas evolved, and drawing from history, the authors disrupt long-held and enduring myths such as: “Columbus Discovered America” “Thanksgiving Proves the Indians Welcomed Pilgrims” “Indians Were Savage and Warlike” “Europeans Brought Civilization to Backward Indians” “The United States Did Not Have a Policy of Genocide” “Sports Mascots Honor Native Americans” “Most Indians Are on Government Welfare” “Indian Casinos Make Them All Rich” “Indians Are Naturally Predisposed to Alcohol” Each chapter deftly shows how these myths are rooted in the fears and prejudice of European settlers and in the larger political agendas of a settler state aimed at acquiring Indigenous land and tied to narratives of erasure and disappearance. Accessibly written and revelatory, “All the Real Indians Died Off” challenges readers to rethink what they have been taught about Native Americans and history.

In this comprehensive history of American Indian education in the United States from colonial times to the present, historians and educators Jon Reyhner and Jeanne Eder explore the broad spectrum of Native experiences in missionary, government, and tribal boarding and day schools. This up-to-date survey is the first one-volume source for those interested in educational reform policies and missionary and government efforts to Christianize and “civilize” American Indian children. Drawing on firsthand accounts from teachers and students, American Indian Education considers and analyzes shifting educational policies and philosophies, paying special attention to the passage of the Native American Languages Act and current efforts to revitalize Native American cultures.
