“Take that axe and knock him on the head. I will gladly bury him. I would rather you do that than take him to school.”

Tenets of Colonial Education “Colonial Education” refers to the re- culturing and re-education of American Indians by the secular and religious institutions of colonizing nations.”

1 Native Americans were savages and had to be civilized.

2 Civilization required Christian conversion.

3 Civilization required subordination of Native communities – which may be achieved by resettlement of Native people.

4 Native people had mental, moral, physical, or cultural deficiencies that made certain pedagogical methods necessary for their education.

Education has ALWAYS been recognized as a necessity and an advantage by Indian people. “Remember that the whites are near us. With them we have constant intercourse, and you must be sensible, that unless you can speak their language, read and write as they do, they will be able to cheat you and trample on your rights.” - The Cherokee Phoenix
