Abstract
I am a non-Native American teacher on the Navajo Reservation in Sanders, Arizona. I have a Masters of Education from Arizona State University with an English minor. I have a Bachelor of Arts degree in history with an emphasis on Native American history and culture. I am certified to teach Secondary Education in U.S. History, world history, economics and English. I was born and raised on the Seneca Nation of Indians in upstate New York. I believe that Native Americans have a beautiful culture that should be preserved and not forgotten by reinforcing tribal cultures through the children, especially those on the reservations. Also, Native Americans have a unique set of circumstances in American society which needs to be addressed in an unique way.
