The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints maintained an active policy directing Latter-day Saint interactions with Native Americans in the West during the nineteenth century. While these associations have generally been well studied, educational policies in the twentieth century, especially at the region's Indian schools and through the Church's Indian Seminary program, are not as well known. Writing of this void, David J. Whittaker noted in 1985, "The twentieth century has hardly been touched. . . . We do not fully . . . comprehend the educational programs." In response, this paper analyzes the Church's Native American religious education programs during the last half of the twentieth century. In particular, it examines the founding and expanding of the Church's Indian Seminary program, as well as the successes and challenges associated with religious education among the Native American population.
