Electa Quinney loved to learn. Growing up in the early 1800s in New York, she went to some of the best boarding schools. There she learned how to read, write, and solve tough math problemsshe even learned how to do needlework. Electa decided early on that she wanted to become a teacher so she could pass her knowledge on to others.But life wasnt simple. Electa was a Stockbridge Indian, and her tribe was being pressured by the government and white settlers to move out of the state. So in 1828, Electa and others in her tribe moved to Wisconsin. Almost as soon as she arrived, Electa got to work again, teaching in a log building that also served as the local church. In that small school in the woods, Electa became Wisconsins very first public school teacher, educating the children of StockbridgeMunsee Band of the Mohican Indians as well as the sons and daughters of nearby white settlers and missionaries.Electas life provides a detailed window onto pioneer Wisconsin and discusses the challenges and issues faced by American Indians in the nineteenth century. Through it all, Electas love of learning stands out, and her legacy as Wisconsins first public school teacher makes her an inspiration to students of today.
