INST 3170 Indigenous Education (3 credits)

This course examines the history of educational practices in the U.S. including the role of compulsory education, used as a tool of cultural genocide, historically intended to forcibly assimilate Indigenous people into colonial norms, values, and knowledge systems. Despite this, Indigenous communities have reclaimed education to serve their own interests, utilizing innovative practices and drawing upon traditional knowledge systems to create learning environments that promote academic achievement while maintaining their own cultures. This class looks at the experiences of Indigenous peoples in educational institutions, and how their skills have been applied to Indigenous nation building efforts as well as teacher education beyond Indigenous territories.
