The Dutch are missing in any U.S. history textbook, in the content standards, and in the nationally endorsed curriculum. Outside of New York State history classes, there is almost no mention of the Dutch influence in early 17th-century America. Fleeting references to the Netherlands as a staging area for the Pilgrims' famous "Mayflower" voyage or the voyage of Henry Hudson are common; however, it is difficult to find anything but a cursory mention of the Dutch influence in America. In this article, the author discusses the Dutch legacy and states that leaving the Dutch out of the American history curriculum denies students the opportunity to examine the complex nature of colonial America and the contributions of all who came here to build a new nation. Three useful books for history teachers interested in a "Dutch Revival," including teaching suggestions, are provided. (Contains 3 notes.)
