New Black, Latino history bill lacks needed representation for Native Americans


On Dec. 29, 1890, an estimated 150 Native Americans were killed in the Wounded Knee Massacre. After that, Native American history stops; no more “notable” events happened afterward. At least, that’s the story you get from U.S. History classes. Even then, I’ve only met one person whose class even got that far, with most classes stopping around the 1830s with the Trail of Tears, as if nearly 200 years of important history had been erased from our history curriculum.
On June 21, 2020, An Act Concerning The Inclusion Of Black And Latino Studies In The Public School Curriculum was passed into law. It was a written order to promote multiperspectivity and to give a voice to minority groups that have been systemically silenced by white-centric curriculums. The bill is a triumph for diversity and representation, but it doesn’t go far enough in ensuring that all silenced minority groups receive proper treatment in our education system. Particularly, this bill lacks coverage of Native American studies, as they are not mentioned once.
