Sunday at the Museum: "Straddling Worlds - Negotiating Indian Education's Failures and Promises"

  • The John G. Neihardt State Historic Site 306 W. Elm St. Bancroft, NE 68004 USA (map)

Speaker: Nancy Gillis

From earliest contact, the push for civilizing and Christianizing indigenous peoples through various educational models has seen many success stories and yet too many with tragic results. To grasp the bright future educators see today, we must look at the circuitous route Indian Education has taken in our past, by examining its failures and striving together to keep its promises.

Free event, everyone welcome!
