American Indian and Indigenous Education: A Survey Text for the 21st Century features a collection of carefully selected readings that address the conflicting approaches to education that Native and non-Native educators have adopted when working with American Indian and Indigenous students in the United States, Canada, Australia, and other global locations. The text guides students chronologically through historical events and ideas to help them better understand and learn from the history of American Indian and Indigenous education. The collection also sheds light on the political and cultural forms of resistance and resiliency displayed within American Indian and Indigenous communities, highlighting how these acts have influenced and established best practices in the field of education. Throughout the anthology, students read engaging and enlightening selections on the intersection of Native American religion, Christian missionaries, and government schools in the United States; the positive effects of using Indigenous language in Native American education; cultural resilience as embodied and shared through the voices of Native American students; and much, much more. American Indian and Indigenous Education is an ideal resource for courses and programs in American Indian studies and ethnic studies.
