Abstract

Although the educational needs of all Indians have never been fully met at any period, education has been one problem area to which the public his torically has been most sensitive and most responsive. In 1956, 55.3 per cent of the appropriation made to the Bureau of Indian Affairs was earmarked for formal education. This article attempts to put the educational problems of today's In dians in historical perspective by highlighting what has transpired with respect to the establishment of schools, the major practices and policies governing their operation, and the relationship of policy to the adjustment of Indians to the dominant culture.
