A Brief Colorado Indian History of the 1800s Through A Factual Lens (Softcover) - Harvey Roberta Carol

In 1998, Colorado state lawmakers mandated that American Indian history and culture be included in the curriculum of high schools in Colorado, based on the persistent efforts of Comanche State Senator Suzanne Williams. In 2003, they broadened the law mandating that in order to graduate students must satisfactorily complete a civil government course which includes the history, culture and social contributions of American Indians and other groups. Colorado Revised Statute 22-1-104. This book on Colorado's American Indian history based on primary sources is intended to help Colorado fulfill this educational mandate.
