Question

several of our young people were formerly brought up at the colleges of the northern provinces. they were instructed in all your sciences, but when they came back to us, they were bad runners, ignorant of every means of living in the woods, unable to bear either cold or hunger, knew neither how to build a cabin, take a deer, or kill an enemy, spoke our language imperfectly, and therefore were neither fit for hunters, warriors, nor councilors. they were totally good for nothing. we are however not the less obliged by your kind offer, though we decline accepting it; and to show our grateful sense of it, if the gentlemen of virginia will send us a dozen of their sons, we will take great care of their education, instruct them in all we know, and make men of them. adapted from chief canassatego, \on colonizing education\ how does this strategy help chief canassatego question the value of college education for native americans? it inspires the audience to organize additional scholarships to support native american youth. it criticizes the audience for taking native american youth away from their tribes and families. it illustrates how the goals of colonial education are different from those of native american education. it highlights the unique benefits of a college education for native american youth.

Esto demuestra que las metas de la educación colonial (científicas) y nativa (prácticas y culturales) son diferentes.
