There was no formal educational system as we know it among the Native American Indian tribes. Education took place in the form of teachings that was passed on from father to son, generation after generation, and the majority of this education was not the type you may think. They didn't study math or social studies; they were taught the history of their family, the accomplishments of their ancestors, and the legends and rituals of their form of religious worship.

When? Now, many Native Americans attend public school in a town or on a reservation. Last centruy, many students went to a boarding school to try "assimilate" these students. I feel it was meant by some people in the best way, but hindsight is 20/20, and it wasn't good at all.

I think that they told stories and legends.The elders learned from experiance and passed it on. Boys and Men went into saunas and told stories, then jumped into the river. Meanwhile, women and girls told stories of there own. For more info, go here:
