Where did you go to elementary school? In Virginia we spent enormous amounts of time (way too long) covering Native American history.

I wouldn't say we spent too long covering it, but having grown up near rayiner but a decade or so after from them, we covered it several times. It was the first unit of 6th and 11th grade US history, as well as 4th grade state history, and tangentially covered in 5th grade world history.

In Hawaii I mostly got Laplanders, year after year. I guess they are Sami now?

Same. Any time someone complains about X not being taught in school, it’s important to remember that it likely is taught and they likely didn’t pay attention.

Hell, we made atlatls in middle school
