Abstract
For too long, many of our educational institutions viewed students as "all the same," with little, if any, consideration given to values, traditions, and behaviors of people of color. Obviously, the melting pot theory enabled our schools to carve out a curriculum which remains Eurocentric in its perspective and beliefs. This perspective is highly incongruent with our ethnically, culturally, and linguistically diverse society; it is especially incongruent with American Indian people who continue to retain their tribal languages, customs, lifestyles, and value systems.
