[QUOTE="Lexluther, post: 7876390, member: 33903"] In my opinin, it isn't taught adequately (at most schools, at least) unless you take a college course in the subject. In high school classes, Native American perspectives tend to be sidelined to a great extent, and accounts of many events, like the fall of the Aztec empire or the Sioux Wars, are told with a definite white man bias. Certainly native prehistory is often overlooked entirely. But I think these things are in a process of change. Fifty years ago, Native American history wasn't taught at all, or was taught from the basis that indian cultures really were inferior. So, what we have is a marked improvement, and I think will continue to improve as time goes by. [/QUOTE]
