| Summary | "A plain and faithful narrative of the original design, rise, progress and present state of the Indian Charity-School at Lebanon, in Connecticut" by Eleazar Wheelock is a historical account written during the mid-18th century. The book details the establishment and development of a charity school aimed at educating the children of Native Americans, particularly focusing on the advantages of integrating their own youth into educational systems that also included English practices. The narrative serves to advocate for this charitable institution and appeals to benefactors for support. In this narrative, Eleazar Wheelock outlines his motivations for founding the Indian Charity-School, rooted in both Christian duty and the belief that educating Native American youth is essential for their spiritual and social upliftment. He describes the struggles faced in gaining support for the school, the careful planning that went into its operation, and the methods used to instruct the students, including the incorporation of both male and female pupils. Through a detailed examination of his approach and progress, Wheelock emphasizes the importance of cultural sensitivity and the potential for benefiting both Native American communities and colonial society by fostering understanding and cooperation. The narrative ultimately invites readers to recognize the value of this educational endeavor and encourages them to contribute to its mission. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
