In the late nineteenth century, traditional Ojibwe ways of life were under assault. The land the Ojibwe could use to farm, hunt, and fish had been greatly reduced by treaties and allotment. In addition, Ojibwe children were being sent to government schools, often far from their homes and families. This workshop explores the immediate and long-term effects of allotment and government-imposed education on the Ojibwe. Also discussed will be current issues of treaty rights, mascots, and repatriation. Participants will explore the ways that language contributes to cultural experiences and exchanges as well as present-day efforts to preserve the Ojibwe language.
This two day workshop led by Dr. Anton Treuer, will provide help and guidance with historical and cultural issues, explore successful strategies for teaching to and about Ojibwe people and developing lessons that align with the state standards. Opportunities will be provided to explore absent narratives through the careful examination of selected video, historical, literature and curricular examples.
Graduate credit is available through Hamline University for an additional fee of $123.
