This article examines history writing on American Indian education to show its movement from a focus on federal policy to studies that incorporate Native people’s perspectives. The article discusses the benefits and challenges of using oral histories, interviews, and autobiographies for historical analysis and points to the value of a multi‐voiced, interdisciplinary approach.
