Answer 2

Do you mean for fun? For education?


Here's some info on their education :

"The native American children were taught by their elders. They were taught how to do errands, how to be warriors, how to cook, how to hunt, and how to take care of kids. But in each tribe there were different roles for each gender. As the kids grew up they helped their parents. The boys went with the men and the girls went with the Women. They watched their parents work and learned from them. They were told the legends and folk tales by their elders.
The new born children were taken in different ways. Some of them were cried on their backs. Others were carried in a small woven carriage. Usually the mothers took them around with them. Once they got older the girls were given permission to put a symbol to symbolize that they were now ready for marriage. When the boys got older they went with the other men. "

Answer 3

the same like any other children go to school any being children

Answer 4

When the males were old enough, they would practice hunting with their adult guides. I would only guess that the female kids would have learned to do things like cook and make clothing.

Answer 5

The Native American Children's Alliance (NACA) is an intertribal, cross-mentoring organization whose mission is to inspire and support the development, growth, and maintenance of multi-disciplinary teams and Children's Advocacy Centers in Native American and Alaska Native communities in their efforts to address child sexual abuse. NACA was formed in April of 1999 and held it's first formal meeting on September 26, 1999 in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

The Native American Children’s Alliance was formed in response to the need for tribal Child Advocacy Center development. Many professionals did not believe it was possible to develop CAC’s in Indian Country given the challenges involved in multi-jurisdictional coordination, lack of sustainability of current child abuse program initiatives, facility –based programming, and lack of community resources to sponsor the “mainstream” funding model for CAC’s. NACA was formed to support existing tribal CAC programs and to promote the development of CAC’s and MDT’s in tribal communities.

OUR MISSION

The mission of NACA is to “Serve as a cross-mentoring organization to inspire and support the development, growth and maintenance of Multi-disciplinary Teams and Child Advocacy Centers for Native American and Alaska Native Communities.” This mission means that we must listen to the voices of our children, their families, and their communities in order to create programs and services which will serve the needs of child abuse victims.

The Child Advocacy Center model promotes a focus on the child and family. Multiple agencies come together to provide a coordinated response to child maltreatment, most often child physical and sexual abuse. While each agency involved in investigating these cases has their own legislative mandate to investigate various aspects; the CAC is viewed as a neutral facility which provides a warm, child centered, non-threatening environment. Children who, in the past had to be interviewed often up to 10 or more times; now can be interviewed far fewer times using this coordinated approach.

The CAC is uniquely situated to provide services and coordinate efforts that no single agency can provide alone. The CAC can also be the focal point for all services in addition to the interview e.g., medical exams, treatment, therapy for both child and non-offending parents and other family members and follow-up support. Child Advocacy Centers in tribal communities emphasize a holistic approach to child abuse and domestic violence. Many tribes promote the traditional value that all things are connected within the natural world and that child abuse in interconnected with other challenges that tribal people have experienced. Tribal CAC’s and MDT’s often view health and healing as important as prosecution in child maltreatment cases. In providing healing tribal communities often use both traditional and western modalities.
