| + | One of the things that stood out to me in this article was the paradoxes. This was full of them regarding cherokee values as well as teachings. There seems to be great confusion between the pure bloods and mixed-bloods. For example, there were many mixed-blood instructors, but no traditional cherokee teachers, yet the school was based on cherokee values. Also, many of the teachers repressed Cherokee values, which seems to defeat the purpose of a cherokee boarding school. Also, a girl named Na-Li defended her honor in claiming that both of her parents were full cherokee, but many of the teachers did not teach traditional values so it seems like a frivolous concern. It appears to obtain a traditional cherokee eduaction when there were so many paradoxes between the people.-Afrisk | ||
