Reflection by the Riverside: The Traditional Education of Native American Children

Abstract

This article explores Native American concepts and meanings surrounding the relationship between elders and children, leadership, the meaning of family, spirituality expressed through harmony and balance, the significance of animals, and the Eagle Feather as a sacred symbol in the traditional education of Native American children. The process of traditional education is presented as an alternative educational perspective and approach based on certain universal humanistic values and philosophies.
