Book Description
"The story of the Phoenix Indian School tests the assumptions of those who analyze federal policy from a broad perspective. It is easily apparent that western schools developed a personality of their own, were affected by pressures not recognized by policy makers, and did not always follow national trends. Trennert's study is broken down into three parts. First is an administrative history of the school, centering around the superintendents who dominated the institution and implemented federal policy. Also included is a study of the unique relationship between the city of Phoenix and the school, which was purposely located in an urban area where interaction with whites was an important part of the assimilation program. White citizens had financial and other reasons for cooperating, and their role in Indian education is thoroughly explored. Finally, the study presents an in-depth look at the effect of assimilationist education on native children. From the Indian perspective, Trennert analyzes how the federal school program affected individuals. Surprisingly, he concludes that Indian schools such as the one in Phoenix were not all evil, and they failed educationally in good part because the federal government was unwilling to provide adequate support"--Book jacket.

Book Description
On Indian Ground: The Southwest is one of ten regionally focused texts that explores American Indian/Alaska Native/Native Hawaiian education in depth. The text is designed to be used by educators of native youth and emphasizes best practices found throughout the state. Previous texts on American Indian education make wide-ranging general assumptions that all American Indians are alike. This series promotes specific interventions and relies on native ways of knowing to highlight place-based educational practices. On Indian Ground: The Southwest looks at the history of Indian education within the southwestern states. The authors also analyze education policy and tribal education departments to highlight early childhood education, gifted and talented educational practice, parental involvement, language revitalization, counseling, and research. These chapters expose cross-cutting themes of sustainability, historical bias, economic development, health and wellness, and cultural competence. The intended audience for this publication is primarily those educators who have American Indian/Alaska Native/Native Hawaiian students in their educational institutions. The articles range from early childhood and head start practices to higher education, including urban, rural and reservation schooling practices. A secondary audience: American Indian education researcher.
