PREFACE. Across the nation each.year in late November, hordes of youngchildren don plastic headbands and Sioux warbonnets 'to posture in the backgroundfor the Pilgrim's Thanksgiving tableaux, The school auditorium curtain falls. The grotesque war- paint is scrubbed away. The,American education system scarcely dwells'again for another year on the subject 9f the American Indian. OHOYO IKHANA: A Bibliography of American Indian/Alaska NativeCurriculum Materials is offered as a tool for teachers, school administratorsand policy makers of the dominant culture to begin a response to voiced needs comingfrom within Indian Country for incorporating into school curricula abroader image of the first Ameri- tank from both the historical and contemporaryperspectives. The work, containing 1200 entries which were developed primarilywithin the diverse Indian cultures, will enable the classroom teacher to teach Indianhistory as American history and not as a separate unit to be taughtduring Thanksgiving week alone. OHOY0 IKHANA was devetoped to assist educatorsin discovering a segment of America previousli mono-culturalized, under-representedand stereotyped. Most victi,mized in coursework neglect endin stereotyping have been women of the Native American population. BeyonC1 romanticized glimpses of the "princess" Pocahontas and young Sacajawea,wheguided the explorers across the Northwest, school curricula in the main fail to mentionthe existence of a female native population except in the "squaw" context. Long synonomous with the oppressed "drudge," the pejorative-term "squaw" was mostlikely a perfectli respectable word (saitto have been a French corruption of an Iroquoisword for woman, 'tatseskwa"). As recently as 1980, a study showed that twoof the three leading college text- books for American History courses stillemployed the term "squaw" in referencing American Indian women. Mass media still uses the word in ade'preciative sense. Associated Press in mid-September 1982 ran a wire storyand photo describing the Secretary of Interior being relegated to dancingwith "squaw0 after having failed to kill an antelope with a single shot. During the last.dozen years, when contributionsof women and minorities to the fibre of the country have been re-assessed,it is regrettable that the variety of roles played by_women within the diversecultures have been so profoundly down- European values in attempting to played. It began when Europeans super-imposed interpret Indian cultures and male/femaleroles. While DeSoto's journal of 1540 registers his encounter with a Yuchi.womanleader, it also expresses a certain shock of discovering Choctaw women fightingbeside the men in defending their homeland bn Mobila Bay (Alabama). .Earlyexplorers in the Northeast, drawing from their patriarchal perspectives,misunderstood the matrilineal societies of the Iroquois so prOfoundly that theysabotaged their own treaties by making them with . men who did not havesole power to make such decisions.
