The Winnebago Indian School Experiment in Iowa Territory, 1834-1848
TL;DRAbstract
The school's $3000 annual appropriation was generous when compared to earlier expenditures for Indian education.The total amount allotted for Indian education for the whole of 1827 was only $10,000, and only 82% of that was expended.See: 20 Cong., 1 sess.(serial 163), Senate Documents, no. 1, 145-146.A treaty with the Sac and Fo% ratified July 15, 1830, also provided $3000 per annum for education: Kappler, Indian Treaties, 305-310.Jackson stressed Indian education, but it would be misleading to assume that evety treaty concluded during his administration provided federal funds for that purpose.Of the fortyeight treaties negotiated in the eight years preceeding Jackson's two terms in office, only eleven (twenty-nine percent) contained provisions for educational monies.During Jackson's presidency, sixty-seven treaties were negotiated, with twenty (thirty percent) having like provisions.Clearly, Jackson did not, in fact, place significantly higher emphasis upon Indian education:
