It obliterated their Indigenous identities, destroyed their families, culture, and traditional ways of life. The history of violence and genocide inflicted upon America’s Indigenous peoples have continued to cause adverse psychological and physical effects. Native American students are underachieving and have the lowest graduation rates of all racial ethnic groups. The central research question for this qualitative study is how does intergenerational historical trauma impact the educational journeys of Puyallup tribal members? The goal of this study was to provide insights into the impact of intergenerational historical trauma upon eight Puyallup tribal elders and to discover possible relationships with their educational journeys and life choices. This study utilized the research strategy of phenomenological oral history. The use of this approach is culturally compatible and thus would be considered honorable within our culture. The findings indicated that three of the elders who received educational encouragement during their life were the only ones who studied beyond high school. The three who did not receive encouragement dropped out of high school. Two elders spent their careers working in Indian Education and they suggested what elements should comprise a tribal school staff development training program focused on teaching about the importance of culture and the intergenerational effect of historical trauma upon our students, families, elders, and ancestors. The goal of their suggested tribal school staff training is to provide staff members with the tools they will need to create a positive and nurturing educational environment that honors and emphasizes our traditional ways, so our students will develop positive attitudes about learning while strengthening their Indigenous identities leading to greater personal success and academic achievement. vi TABLE OF CONTENTS DEDICATION…………………………………………………………….………………….… ii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS……………………………………………………….………….… iii ABSTRACT………………………………………………………………………………….… vi TABLE OF CONTENTS…………………………………………………………………….... vii LIST OF TABLES………………………………………………….……………………….…. xiii LIST OF FIGURES …………………………………………………………………………… xiv CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION…………………………………………….………………... 1 Statement of the Problem……………………………………………….……………… 2 Purpose of the Study………………………………………………….………………... 4 Significance of the Study……………………………………………….……………… 5 Limitations of the Study…………………………………………………….………….. 6 Quality Indicators and Use of Peer Review...……………………………….…………. 7 Positionality Statement……………………………………………………….………… 8 Through the Eyes of a Spuyaləpabš (Puyallup) Tribal Elder……….….………. 10 Explanation of Terms……………………………………………………….…………. 11 CHAPTER 2: REVIEW OF THE LITERATURE………………………………….…………. 14 The Historical and Political Context of Education……………………….……………. 14 Colonization……………………………………………………………………………. 14 Frantz Fanon…………………………………………………………………… 15 Education – The Weapon of Mass Destruction………………………………... 16 U.S. Educational Policies that Supported Colonization………….………….… 18 U.S. Laws that Supported Historical Trauma………………………………….. 18 President Ulysses Grant’s Peace Policy……………………………………….. 21 Indian Boarding Schools……………………………………………………….. 23 Puyallup Tribal Indian Boarding Schools……………………………… 25 Historical Trauma Theory……………………………….……………………………... 27 Indigenous Identity…………………………….………………….………………….… 28 The Responsibilities of Culture……………….………………………….……………. 31 The Need for a Cultural Worldview……………………………………………. 32 vii Self-Esteem and Self-Efficacy…………………………………………...…. 32 Spirituality, Religion, and a Fear of Death…………………………………. 33 Bronfenbrenner’s Ecological Systems Theory…………………………………….... 34 History of Loss and Death for Native Americans…………………………………... 35 Death Affirming Climate…………………………………………………… 35 Terror Management Theory…………………………………………………..…….. 36 Terror Management Theory and the Need for Culture………………..……. 36 Decolonization………………………………………………………………...……. 38 Strategies for Decolonization of the Mind………………………………….. 38 Poka Laenui’s Decolonization Steps………………………….….….

    Learning Activities Grade 6 Suggested Learning Activities for Grade 6 students during the COVID-19 school closure. Seattle Public Schools is committed to making its online information accessible and usable to all people, regardless of ability or technology. Meeting web accessibility guidelines and standards is an ongoing process that we are consistently working to improve. While Seattle Public Schools endeavors to only post documents optimized for accessibility, due to the nature and complexity of some documents, an accessible version of the document may not be available. In these limited circumstances, the District will provide equally effective alternate access. Due to the COVID-19 closure, teachers were asked to provide packets of home activities. This is not intended to take the place of regular classroom instruction but will help supplement student learning and provide opportunities for student learning while they are absent from school. Assignments are not required or graded. Because of the unprecedented nature of this health crisis and the District’s swift closure, some home activities may not be accessible. If you have difficulty accessing the material or have any questions, please contact your student’s teacher.

  • IN a FAMILIAR YET FOREIGN LAND the Life and Memories of Henry Sicade, 1866–1938 by Cary C
    WashingtonHistory.org IN A FAMILIAR YET FOREIGN LAND The Life and Memories of Henry Sicade, 1866–1938 By Cary C. Collins ed. COLUMBIA The Magazine of Northwest History, Summer 2005: Vol. 19, No. 2 Edited and with an introduction by Cary C. Collins, compiled by Oscar H. Jones Pathbreakers can emerge from collisions between seemingly opposing societies. These rare persons transcend their own circumstances to grasp the advantages and opportunities brought forth by the transforming encounter. Historian Margaret Connell Szasz has described these individuals as "cultural brokers," those who step confidently between divergent worlds, integrating the cultures and values of both. Puyallup tribal leader Henry Sicade may never have perceived of himself as a cultural broker, but he filled that role in many ways. Sicade was born in 1866, only a decade following the negotiation of the treaties of land cession that so irrevocably altered the course of Indian history in the Pacific Northwest. His life spanned the years of settlement and assimilation. Despite the obstacles that confronted him as an Indian living in the early 20th century, Sicade managed to embrace aspects of non-Indian culture and still retain his Puyallup identity. He aggressively and successfully utilized American institutions as a vehicle to propel himself, his family, and his tribe toward a better life while at the same time preserving and strengthening the cultural traditions of the Puyallup people. In 1873, just before his seventh birthday, Sicade enrolled in the Puyallup Indian School at Fife, near Tacoma. Seven years later he transferred to the first off-reservation boarding school west of the Mississippi, the Forest Grove Indian and Industrial Training School in Forest Grove, Oregon (now the Chemawa Indian School at Salem).

  • Voices at Boldt 40 (Posted 3/11/14)
    Voices at Boldt 40 (posted 3/11/14) “They gassed us, clubbed us, dragged us, beat us. Those were hard times,” said Puyallup elder Ramona Bennett, recalling the brutal treatment of tribal fisherman and their families by state enforcement officers during the treaty fishing rights struggle of the 1960s and ‘70s. The struggle led to the landmark 1974 ruling by federal Judge George Boldt in U.S. v. Washington. Boldt’s ruling upheld the treaty-reserved salmon harvest right of the tribes, establishing them as co- managers of the resource and affirming the tribal right to half of the harvestable salmon returning to their historic fishing sites. Tribes gathered in early February (2014) to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the Boldt Decision with a daylong symposium looking at the past, present and future of U.S. v. Washington and tribal treaty rights. “This was the same time as the peace strikes and the civil rights movement,” Bennett said. “There was a change going on and we got to be part of that change.” The Fish War of the 1960s and ‘70s was actually the second Treaty War, said Muckleshoot tribal member Gilbert KingGeorge. “Research has shown that families who fought in the second Treaty War are, in most cases, direct descendants of the warriors that fought in the first Treaty War of 1955 to ’56. We won both wars, no matter what they tell you in history.” Muckleshoot elder Leo LaClair recalled helping to get the word out about the treaty fishing rights struggle. Seeking witnesses to the violence being shown to treaty fishermen and their families, he invited Dr.
