Our teacher did favor the Native Americans but then again many of the kids in the class were Paiutes. This one too probably as it is about a Paiute-- Tell Them Willie Boy Is Here - Wikipedia
Recall that this teacher was not a favorite of many of the parents but many of his students liked him. I had him Junior year as I skipped my Senior year by taking correspondence courses offered by another Reno, Nevada area high school. And went onto the University of Reno, Nevada and took history classes and had one African-American history professor who did teach kind of a Marxist approach to history but that is very different from Critical Race Theory.
