Story of Act 31 (eBook, ePUB)

How Native History Came to Wisconsin Classrooms

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

From forward-thinking resolution to violent controversy and beyond. Since its passage in 1989, a state law known as Act 31 requires that all students in Wisconsin learn about the history, culture, and tribal sovereignty of Wisconsin s federally recognized tribes. The Story of Act 31 tells the story of the law s inception tracing its origins to a court decision in 1983 that affirmed American Indian hunting and fishing treaty rights in Wisconsin, and to the violent public outcry that followed the court s decision. Author J P Leary paints a picture of controversy stemming from past policy decisions that denied generations of Wisconsin students the opportunity to learn about tribal history.
