California Indians demand THEIR HISTORY be taught in public schools

[Text Drivers are Killers]

Unfortunately no north american indian tribe had a written language till the white man showed them how, so there is no way to know what the injuns were doing prior to that. Anything about injun history will of necessity just be made up and you can sure it will be liberal propaganda blaming all the indian woes on whites.

july 29 2018 For decades, California 4th-graders have studied the Golden State: its geography, people and history. Now, historians and Native American teachers are pushing to broaden that curriculum to include more on the culture and history of the state’s original inhabitants.

“For so many years, the story of California Indians has never really been part of classrooms,” said Rose Borunda, an education professor at Sacramento State University and a coordinator of the California Indian History Curriculum Coalition. “Our story has never been present. It’s often sidestepped because it’s inconvenient. But it’s the truth, and students should learn it.”

Borunda, who is Native American, and her colleagues are working to educate teachers statewide on the history of California’s indigenous people, who were among the most populous and diverse Native Americans in North America. Their curriculum would complement the state’s History-Social Science framework, which was updated two years ago.

The changes are part of a broader effort to expand Native California curriculum in the state’s K-12 schools. In October, Gov. Jerry Brown signed AB 738, which requires the state’s Instructional Quality Commission — which advises the State Board of Education on curriculum — to create a Native American studies class curriculum for high schools that will satisfy the elective course requirements for admission to the University of California and California State University. Earlier this year, Brown signed AB 2016, which creates an elective high school ethnic studies course that could also include Native American history and culture. The State Board of Education is required to adopt the ethnic studies curriculum by March 2020.

Irony, racist?

Knowledge? Nothing is known about injun history since the savages never had a written language. THINK, white-hating racist.

Rightwing posters who have never set foot in a college class, and barely were capable of graduating high school are never, ever, under any circumstances allowed to give an opinion on the feasibility or value of an academic subject

'History' is written by the Victors.

They passed their history down through the ages in story and song.

Um... that's not true. Oral histories are a valid source of information when you check them against relative oral histories from either conflicting or simply separate tribes in the area.

TDAK is on ignore but I saw this (and copied it) from Damo’s post. I just wanted to say that “the whites” are to blame for the Indian woes...early on post Columbus and down through Andrew Jackson and such. Who else would you blame them on?

HAHAHA. Get serious. Those accounts get embellished with every telling. We need BOOKS written 500 or a 1000. or 2000 years ago. We have it with whites but not injuns. The savages never invented a written language just like they never invented the wheel. No wonder they lost.

Who's to blame for the modern indian's misery.?? The indians that's who. Like blacks they don't have the intelligence to do tech and cannot get beyond the stone age on their own. THINK

The first written languages on record came from North Africa. So do you think black people should have priority in history over whites who couldn't get it together for thousands of years afterwards?
