| Abstract: | The Wayne T. Pratt Papers consist primarily of publications, correspondence, transcripts, photographs, and other materials documenting issues facing Native American communities and educators of Native American children. Among the subjects shown are the Bureau of Indian Affairs, schools for Native children, the education of future teachers of Native children, the sensitivity of educators to cultural issues, mid to late twentieth century trends in Native education, and the Johnson-O'Malley plan to aid local schools. Although the materials in the collection date from 1903 to 1990, the bulk of the collection was created between 1953 and 1988. | |
