Abstract
In a 1957 article criticizing the efforts of the federal government to follow through on Reconstruction in the former Confederacy, Edgar Wesley concluded that “the crime of federal neglect is made more glaring when one contrasts the cruel abandonment of the freedmen with the relatively generous outpouring of supplies, equipment, schools, and teachers that have been showered upon the Indians for more than a century and a half.”1 Whether the government resources have indeed been generous, there is no question that the involvement of the federal governments with Indian affairs, including education, has continued over many decades, in contrast with the intermittent attention paid to the situation of black Americans and Canadians.
