    Under the premise of manifest destiny and the ideals of Americanization, the federal government sought to stretch the Euro-American establishment from coast to coast by disengaging the indigenous people from their ancestral homelands. In pursuance of this goal, the Dawes Act of 1887 was founded in congruence with the ideology that one must “kill the Indian” to “save the man,” with one method of approach being the assimilation of native youth into mainstream society. Providing a unique perspective on this matter, Zitkala-Sa examines the strides made by native youth to maintain a sense of ethnic identity amongst the mounting pressure of acculturation. This internal struggle, defined by elements of rebellion and resistance, can be observed as the major theme of “The School Days of an Indian Girl.” Zitkala-Sa speaks to the reader retrospectively, as she navigates the events of her past in which she was directed away from her mother and family to attend a government-subsidized boarding school.…

    Introduction Special education has made significant changes over the past years, partly due to the fact that people have stood up and made a change for the better toward children with disabilities. Children are no longer put into segregated hospitals and left to die and forgotten about. Children for many years were labeled as unlovable and a disgrace and hid away from society. Parents were faced with humiliation and public scorning for having a child with a disability and lived in fear. People are now more widely educated and have advanced over the past century to include children with disabilities as part of society and not simply a disgrace to be swept under the rug.…
