Why this petition matters

Started by Marie Mercado

I’d like to propose that all states in America be required to teach the history of their Indigenous people.  America is among one of the only countries in the world that does not teach the history of its original people. Since so much of what Americans have been taught is not the truth, (regarding Native Americans and their history), it is imperative that the government correct this problem.  I am asking that Native American history be taught as a course within itself, in every middle and high school in America, at the very least and this includes modern day trafficking.

What is happening right now in regard to sexual assault and trafficking and what has happened in the past to the Native peoples of this nation, is so extensive that it could not be covered by one page in a history book.  This needs to be a whole curriculum and it is imperative that people learn the truth.  So much of their history has been omitted, if not all of it. It’s time America join the rest of the world to accept the truth, and teach it, so we can move on.  It is even beyond time for an apology, but acknowledging their existence both now, and of the past is a start.

I hope that you will sign my petition. Thank you and be blessed in your life’s journey!
