Letter: Schools need to teach far more about Native Americans in Utah history classes

I think that it is heartbreaking that the curriculum the state of Utah has given to U.S. history teachers does not include the majority of the history of how Native Americans were, and are, treated by the U.S. government. A surprising amount of students don’t know hardly anything about independent Native American nations, even though we live in a state with a large amount of reservation and independent nation land. This seems dangerous to me to raise the youth in Utah ignorant of a significant minority in the state. They need to be informed about these reservations and the ways that an independent nation works.
