Indians Not Getting Break in History
SACRAMENTO UP I The American Indian Historical Society says California Indians are poorly represented in public school history books. It urges bias-free depictions even if it harms the mission padres and the gold rush era. The Curriculum Commission will meet Aug 18 at Bijou to screen texts and propose final selections to the Board of Education. The group cites superficially treated Indians, mis information, and teachers’ alleged ignorance, calling mission life euphemistic and oppressive and noting brutal discipline and forced labor. It argues gold-rush coverage omits Indians and calls for context on extermination attempts and miner legality.
