From one vantage point, the education of Native Americans emerges from a narrative about how the members of a superior society constantly have extended themselves in their efforts to lead savages away from their quaint but untenable existence and toward salvation through civilization. From another vantage point, there is a story here to be told about the nature and consequences of rhetorical and cultural transformation. In examining the latter narrative, this essay advances the thesis that rhetoric generated by Native Americans who have experienced dominant educational efforts in the United Slates reveals the contours of a form of mimesis that has served and continues to serve as a potent strategy for hegemonic blocs that have sought and still seek to acculturate and assimilate Native Americans (and others)
