Abstract
Having provided the basis for sociological analysis, the focus will now turn to the timeline of events. For ease of organization, this chapter will segment this history into eras. By doing so, comparison of policies between time frames becomes possible. Reyhner and Eder (1989) suggest a system of division and labels for the respective eras, which seem to serve the purposes of this chapter. Their framework includes the following labels and time spans:
-
Colonial Missionaries: 1492–1776
-
Western Removal: 1776–1867
-
Government Control: 1867–1924
-
The New Deal: 1924–1944
-
Termination: 1944–1969
-
Self-Determination: 1969–1989 (Reyhner & Eder, 1989)
An additional United Nations Declaration era, not discussed by Reyhner and Eder (1989), will be added to address the current trends in global Indigenous issues. Further, it should be remembered that Reyhner and Eder also included commentary on mission schools and government boarding schools (pp. 64–99) but these policy periods overlapped the Government Control and The New Deal Eras and therefore are included within these eras.
