To Change the World: The use of American Indian Education in the Philippines

Extract

In a Brule Sioux legend, Iktome, the trickster, warns the various Plains tribes of the coming of the white man: “You are the Ikche-Wichasha—the plain, wild, untamed people,” he tells the Lakota, “but this man will misname you and call you by all kinds of false names. He will try to tame you, try to remake you after himself.” Iktome, in essence, describes the conflict that occurred when American Indians encountered Euro-Americans, who judged the Indians in relation to themselves and found the Indians lacking. Having already misnamed the people “Indians,” Euro-Americans proceeded to label them, among other things, “savages.” By the latter half of the nineteenth-century, such terms carried scientific meaning and seemed to propose to Americans that Native Americans, having “failed to measure up” to the standards of white society, were doomed to extinction unless they changed their ways, unless they were “remade.” And that was, indeed, the aim of American endeavors at Native American education, to remake or, in the words of Carlisle president Richard H. Pratt, “Kill the Indian in him, and save the man.” These educational efforts at restructuring Native American lifestyles were more than the culmination of the battle over definitional control; they were precedents for future American imperial expansion as the United States discovered, at the turn of the century, that “Indians” also lived overseas and that, just like those at home, they needed to be properly educated in the American way of life. The United States' experience with American Indians thus provided both justification for overseas expansion, particularly into the Philippine Islands, and an educational precedent that would enable Americans to claim that their expansion was different from European imperialism based on the American use of education to transform the cultures of their subjects and prepare them for self-government rather than continued colonial control.

As with American Indians, Euro-Americans shifted back and forth between distinguishing levels of civilization among Filipinos (with the non-Christian tribes considered “savages” and the Christianized Filipinos considered more civilized though still clearly childlike) and simply lumping all Filipinos together as inferior to Americans and in need of assistance. Even when American policymakers talked separately about Christianized Filipinos, it was clear that they thought them incapable of self-government and in need of as much assistance as the non-Christians. Take for example the following excerpt from a letter from William Howard Taft to Secretary of War Elihu Root in 1900: “The population of the Islands is made up of a vast mass of [sic] ignorant, superstitious, well intentioned, temperate, somewhat domesticated, fond of their families, and deeply wedded to the Catholic church…. They are generally lacking in moral character; are, with some notable exceptions, prone to yield to any pecuniary consideration; and difficult persons out of whom to make an honest government. We shall have to do the best we can with them.” William H.

It should be noted that the anti-imperialists included among their ranks a number of well-known individuals like Mark Twain and Andrew Carnegie. Yet despite connections to the Democratic Party, meetings, and attempts to keep their issues before the public (see New York Times especially between August 1898 and 1902), the anti-imperialists had almost no effect on American policy.Google Scholar

25 It should be noted that in both the case of the American Indians and the Filipinos, Americans tended to overlook vast differences among the various groups (see note 10) and, when it suited them, simply lump them all together in the less than civilized category. W. Leon Pepperman made such a comparison in a speech to the 22nd Lake Mohonk Conference: “When Columbus landed in America he thought that he had discovered one of the outlying islands of Asia, and in the description of his voyage he called the people whom he had found there ‘Indians.’ This name was continued by the subsequent discoverers, who described the Caribs and Aztecs, the wandering tribes of North America, and the Malays of the Philippine Islands, as Indians. We have in great measure adopted this broad and incorrect generalization. Although it is a false one, yet it suggests a comparison which will make this body, thoroughly acquainted with the condition of the Indian tribes in the United States, realize by comparison the condition of the tribes. We speak of the Filipino.” Pepperman, W.

It should be noted that industrial education, for Indians, Filipinos and African-Americans, stressed teaching the pupils about the dignity of labor (as discussed later in the article); however, the difference was, as noted by Armstrong, Indians (and by extension later Filipinos) needed also to be taught the “habits” of labor. David Wallace Adams quotes Armstrong as saying that blacks were “trained to labor” while Indians were not. Further “Because the Indian had to be taught how to labor, the task before Hampton with respect to the Indian was a more difficult one; the Indian simply had to be brought further along than the Negro.” David Wallace Adams, “Education in Hues: Red and Black at Hampton Institute, 1878–1893,” South Atlantic Quarterly, (Spring 1977): 163–64, 166–67.Google Scholar
