- “It can’t be a recipe for a healthy nation if our largest demographic of kids is only getting to the finish line a little over half the time. Somehow, we’re going to have to start listening to other perspectives.” At TEDxBemidji, Anton Treuer gives us a focused look at mascots, microaggressions, and helping Native Americans thrive.
Dr. Anton Treuer, Professor of Ojibwe at Bemidji State University and author of 14 books, has a BA from Princeton University and an MA and PhD from the University of Minnesota. He is Editor of the Oshkaabewis Native Journal, the only academic journal of the Ojibwe language. Throughout the world, Dr. Treuer has shared the following presentations: Everything You Wanted to Know about Indians but Were Afraid to Ask, Cultural Competence & Equity, Strategies for Addressing the “Achievement” Gap, and Tribal Sovereignty, History, Language, and Culture.
His published works include Everything You Wanted to Know about Indians but Were Afraid to Ask, Warrior Nation: A History of the Red Lake Ojibwe (Winner of The Caroline Bancroft History Prize and the American Association of State and Local History Award of Merit), Ojibwe in Minnesota (named Minnesota’s Best Read for 2010 by The Center for the Book in the Library of Congress), The Assassination of Hole In The Day (Award of Merit Winner from the American Association for State and Local History), Atlas of Indian Nations, The Indian Wars: Battles, Bloodshed, and the Fight for Freedom on the American Frontier, and Awesiinyensag: Dibaajimowinan Ji-Gikinoo'amaageng (named Minnesota’s Best Read for 2011 by The Center for the Book in the Library of Congress).

Once he brought up Marxism I lost all respect. And Ferguson;(
Too many Weather machines for me to fight at Once, there destroying the Earth.
I'm just wondering why the measurement of "success" that you use here is still by the white/European standard? We are "successful" because we are 1) Western medicine doctor or 2) white systemic lawyer or 3) excelling in white system schooling by achieving PhD? Have you changed your standard since this talk?
I believe he was discussing how people outside his family/community look at his birth family of mixed race parentage and a background of poverty/strife and all the children are "successful" by the measure of those evaluating/judging them. Asking how is that possible for all of their children to excel when it goes against statistics of standardized education and racial communities.
I would venture to say that the rest of his mother's family would agree they enjoyed a better life than they did.
So can we have an all white school to preserve the white culture and language....??.
you can't be serious. that's already 99.99% of schools by default.
John Arnold Please lol
This comment is tottaly unappropriate and rasistic
This person lost who they are. There is no "white" culture or language. If they were connected to their people they would know this, but that's what happens in the US.
Europe is full of white culture. American culture (native american) should have a place in america. I'm a european btw.
Boozhoo Anton, Sabé Indigoo, Migizi Dodem. Boise Indingeba. Kitchii Migwich Anton! 👣🦅🪶♥️
Hes hot
As a Kenyan, I can attest to this.
The Kikuyu people in my country, and I'm one of them,... most of them have lost their culture.
And the most lost people in my country are Kikuyus. Especially our youth.
Alcohol, drugs, hopelessness, suicide, crimw.
Without roots, a person is lost.
You have to anchor yourself in the wisdom of the people of thr Earth. Those who came before you.
It's as if the ancestors call us through the blood in our veins to stay rooted in a way of life that was native to the people who stayed very close to nature.
So whatever culture you come from, make sure you have your roots firmly planted no matter how far towards the sky your branches may reach.
