"Banishment, long regarded as the ultimate punishment among American Indians, is making a comeback among tribes trying to find more effective ways to deal with gangs and drugs."
"Some Indian leaders argue that banishment simply pushes a tribe's problems elsewhere. Others worry that the punishment could be misused to silence political opponents and that was one reason Minnesota's Leech Lake Band of Ojibwe decided not to revive the punishment in the late 1990s."
"Some tribes are also banishing non-Indians, saying it is their only weapon against outsiders who make trouble on the reservation." 1-04

"Recognition and use of Native languages
Pedagogy that stresses traditional cultural characteristics and adult-child interactions
Pedagogy in which teaching strategies are congruent with the traditional culture and ways of knowing and learning
Curriculum that is based on traditional culture and that recognizes the importance of Native spirituality
Strong Native community participation in educating children and in the planning and operation of school activities
Knowledge and use of the social and political mores of the community"

The European settlers and the cultural values they brought with them clashed with those of the native inhabitants almost from the minute the English landed at the mouth of the Chesapeake."
"After the establishment of the United States, both state and national leaders recognized that the country had to adopt a national policy toward the Native Americans. Unfortunately, the policy adopted in the 1820s to solve the "Indian problem" was their removal and resettlement in the 'Great American Desert.' "12-01
