it would have worked which is a good a idea but today you will have a lot of resentful kids on your hands today. I feel the best method to reach them is through the use of technology to revitalize the language just like the Choctaw. They are utilizing an iPad and have the Choctaw language app installed on every technology piece. In conclusion, family and community involvement was stressed as the best method to help students succeed in school and pass their standardized tests. There is a…

Native Americans. Kingsbury established a mission at Brainerd Station among the Cherokee (close to present-day Chattanooga, Tennessee). A few years later, he moved to establish the ABCFM’s second Native American mission at Eliot Station among the Choctaw (Everett,…

Native Americans are considered to be of the unites states most economically struggled groups in the country. Since a while ago the Native Americans have always been considered to have the lowest median family income between any other racial or ethnic group. “Unemployment rate for Native American workers (2006–2008) was 12 percent, then about twice the national unemployment rate of 6.4 percent” (feagin).

The Native Americans, as we know, lived on American soil long before the Europeans landed on it. America was their home for centuries but once the Europeans came to settle, all of that changed. The Native Americans, including the Cherokee, Choctaw, Chickasaw, Creek, Seminole, and many more, were forced to move west to make more room for the settlers. The settlers also wanted the land to themselves so they could make a profit off of it. Many of the Native Americans suffered from starvation and…

Some alumni of Indian Boarding schools, such as those interviewed in the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma’s video, have chosen to portray their time spent at the schools as positive1. No matter how the experience was for the Indian Boarding School alumni, Indian boarding schools forced Natives to assimilate to the American…

As English settlers became more desperate for someone to work the land in the newly settled Jamestown, they quickly realized that using the Natives was not an option. The opportunity to use blacks as servants was an obvious choice, as they were already known to be slaves. (Zinn 10) Now, the question of how did they reconcile emergent chattel slavery with Christian precepts is an interesting one. Zinn references a letter written by the Catholic priest Father Sandoval asking the Church if the…

BOOM! You hear a scream, not just any scream, but your mom’s scream. The ceiling collapses on you, drywall bits infiltrate your eyes and your vision betrays you; you cannot see a thing. You continue to hear the screams of your family, no longer just your mom, but your younger siblings. All of your senses are on high alert—you hear so many noises you cannot pick out any one noise. You cannot see anything but as you feel about, you feel bits of your home, your world; it is in pieces. You…
