DESCRIPTORS Action Research; American Indian History; *American Indians; Curriculum Development; Educational Philosophy; Educational Research; Elementary Education; *Elementary School Students; Qualitative Research; *Social Studies; *Student Attitudes; *United States History IDENTIFIERS *Native Americans ABSTRACT This paper summarizes responses of students in grades K-3 to questions about Native Americans. The paper draws on findings from two studies, both done in a suburban school system deemed "average" on a variety of educational and socioeconomic indicators. In each study, samples of students stratified by gender and achievement level were interviewed individually about topics addressed in social studies. Analyses focused not just on the accuracy of responses, but on their qualitative nuances that provided insights into students' ideas, including their misconceptions. Responses across grades K-3 suggest that students' knowledge and thinking about Native Americans tends to proceed through the following stages:(1) no knowledge;(2) cartoon stereotypes of the appearance or behavior of Indians; (3) Indians as the first people in America, wilderness survivors, and teachers of and learners from the Pilgrims and other early Europeans; (4) knowledge about Indians' lives and cultures and empathy with them as noble ecologists and victims of European aggression and greed; and (5) distancing and loss of empathy as attention shifts to the pioneers and the westward expansion of the United States.

  • List of Horse Breeds 1 List of Horse Breeds
    List of horse breeds 1 List of horse breeds This page is a list of horse and pony breeds, and also includes terms used to describe types of horse that are not breeds but are commonly mistaken for breeds. While there is no scientifically accepted definition of the term "breed,"[1] a breed is defined generally as having distinct true-breeding characteristics over a number of generations; its members may be called "purebred". In most cases, bloodlines of horse breeds are recorded with a breed registry. However, in horses, the concept is somewhat flexible, as open stud books are created for developing horse breeds that are not yet fully true-breeding. Registries also are considered the authority as to whether a given breed is listed as Light or saddle horse breeds a "horse" or a "pony". There are also a number of "color breed", sport horse, and gaited horse registries for horses with various phenotypes or other traits, which admit any animal fitting a given set of physical characteristics, even if there is little or no evidence of the trait being a true-breeding characteristic. Other recording entities or specialty organizations may recognize horses from multiple breeds, thus, for the purposes of this article, such animals are classified as a "type" rather than a "breed". The breeds and types listed here are those that already have a Wikipedia article. For a more extensive list, see the List of all horse breeds in DAD-IS. Heavy or draft horse breeds For additional information, see horse breed, horse breeding and the individual articles listed below.

  • AHC PAST Act Frequently Asked Questions
    PREVENT ALL SORING TACTICS ACT OF 2013 (H.R. 1518) Frequently Asked Questions What is the Horse Protection Act and why was it enacted? The Horse Protection Act (HPA or Act) is a federal law that was passed in 1970 to stop the cruel practice of “soring” horses that was occurring in sectors of the horse show industry, primarily the Tennessee Walking Horse and Racking Horse industry. In the 1950s, some horse owners and trainers who wanted to improve their horses’ chances of winning began to sore their horses as a shortcut in place of longer and more conventional training methods. As this practice spread, public concern over the practice led to the passage of the federal law. What activities does it prohibit? The federal law prohibits the showing, sale, auction, exhibition, or transport of horses that have been “sored.” The HPA was passed in 1970 in response to the growing practice of soring of horses to cultivate an accentuated gait on some horses for showing or sale. The Act and its enforcement have traditionally been aimed at those sectors of the walking horse show industry that push for a particularly accentuated gait, known as the “big lick” or “performance” gait, while showing. What is soring? According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (USDA or the Department) the agency that enforces the HPA: “Soring is a cruel and inhumane practice used to accentuate a horse’s gait. Soring may be accomplished by irritating or blistering a horse’s forelegs through the injection or application of chemicals or mechanical devices that cause irritation.

  • NE 4-H Horse Show Bit Rules
    New England 4-H Horse Show Bit Rules and Guidelines Basic guide to local, county, and state/regional 4-H Horse shows as well as for those classes in open shows limited to 4-H membership entry. This rules manual is for organizers, officials, exhibitors, parents and judges. Revised February 2020 These guidelines should be used in conjunction with the current New England 4-H Horse Show Rulebook. See rulebook for additional details involving bits and equipment for respective classes. Because the New England 4-H Horse Program is diverse in both its divisions and in the breeds that compete, it is difficult to generate a complete list of acceptable bits. Bits that are permitted by respective breed associations may be acceptable at the judge's discretion. A judge at his/her discretion can penalize a horse with non-conventional types of bits. Please understand that this supplement gives only examples of legal and u acceptable bits. In no way does it try to include every bit that is allowed or not allowed. If exhibitors have questions concerning a bit they wish to use, and that specific bit is not mentioned in the current rules or these guidelines, then exhibitors should ask the show stewards and/or the judge if the bit is acceptable for that show. Exhibitors should have alternative bits available so that they can make a change if it is determined by show officials that their preferred bit is unacceptable for that show. Each county, district or regional, and state show is officiated by different stewards and judges.
