Administrative Documents, 1944, 1944, 1945, 1940

 Collection — Box: 1, Folder: 1

Scope and Content

From the Collection: The collection consists of materials related to the education of Native American children, including administrative documents, curriculum materials, teacher guides, and mimeographed compilations of work written and produced by students. Most items are specific to the Southwest, with a few from the Mountain West and Great Plains. Some touch on the role and effects of World War II on native populations.

Some of the curriculum texts are hand-colored by the students who used them. Ann Nolan Clark hand-bound some of the compilations in colorful floral fabric. These student publications included collections of indigenous lore, as well as students' creative works and their own observations on their culture and the world around.
