Abstract
This Article considers the future of Native American education in light of a 1998 executive order on American Indian and Alaska Native education, and against the backdrop of the history of federal government Native American education policies and government reports evaluating the results of these policies. Historically, government-sponsored educational programs sought to destroy tribal cultures and prepare Indians for a subordinate role in American society, and government reports repeatedly have documented the adverse consequences of these programs and recommended sweeping changes. The Article explores whether the executive order represents a meaningful commitment to improving Indian education and how the order may fare under the new Administration's pledge to "leave no child behind."
