IOWA CITY, Iowa, Dec. 13 -- The University of Iowa issued the following news release:
Native American history is complex and requires multiple perspectives--especially the Native perspective--to tell accurately. Until recently, however, Iowa Native history was not a big part of social studies curricula in Iowa's public schools. That is changing, however, and the University of Iowa is helping drive the change.
