| Abstract | Native students must be taught to deconstruct their history of assimilation in order to understand their current struggles and to strengthen their cultural identity. As an example of this, the paper considers how community education was justified, carried out and implicated in Inupiat assimilation practices during the first 20 years that the U.S. Bureau of Education was in control of Alaska Natives' education. Government documents, reports, and personal letters from missionary educators and government officials will be examined to identify the rationale that supported vocational and schooling efforts and drove educational practices. The analysis will begin to explain how education worked as an assimilation strategy that contributed to the devastating changes the Inupiat experienced between the years 1885 and 1906. This perspective has ramifications for schools serving Native communities. This paper concludes by highlighting the ways in which these forms of colonization persist in educational settings. The historical and present day subjugation should be made visible to help today's Native youth reclaim their cultural heritage and gain strength from the process. (Author). |
