Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book details the struggle for the education of indigenous peoples of America. The author, Sarah Winnemucca, fought against the 19th century American Indian agency system, notorious for its corruption and abuse, to establish a school for her fellow Piutes. She sought to introduce the tribe to crucial elements of American society through the establishment of an English-language school. As a mixed-blood Piute woman, she stood as a bridge between the two vastly different cultures of Native Americans and white settlers. Winnemucca's school focused on the 'New Departure,' a shift in Native American education from the passive reception of white influence toward self-directed growth and progress. She sought to impart essential life skills and knowledge to her people while preserving their rich cultural heritage. The book shines a light on the historical mistreatment of Native Americans and raises questions about the role of education in empowering marginalized communities. It challenges readers to reflect on the ongoing struggle for equality and self-determination for indigenous peoples.
