Please watch the PBS Documentary Native American Boarding Schools ( 2019 video, 57 minutes in length, captioned) before posting to the discussion area.
Please answer the following questions (2-3 paragraphs). Please base your answers on both the documentary and chapter 12 from our textbook:
How was assimilation to be accomplished? In what ways did this practice affect Native American culture? What implications does this information have for human service practitioners?
Are the characteristics described in the documentary and chapter consistent with your experiences and/or perceptions of Native culture? Where do most of your perceptions about Native Americans come from? How can you expand that picture?
If you had been forced away from your family, community, and culture (as Native children were until the mid-1980s) how might you have turned out differently? Would you have learned all could about your own culture afterward? If so, how? If not, why not?
Reflect on the intentions of the Relocation Act of the 1940s. Do you believe it could have been a benefit to the Native people to integrate more fully with the dominant culture, had they been given the tools to succeed? If so, what could have been done differently? What would a positive outcome of integration be?
