Description
Written entirely by Native authors, this book addresses some critical issues in the education of American Indian and Alaska Native students. Intended for college classrooms, it aims to fill a void in the literature and textbooks used in multicultural and teacher education programs. The book has four sections: the past and present foundations of Indian education; curriculum issues, thoughts, and practice; the college and university experience; and next steps (research to support improved practice). Chapters are: (1) "The Unnatural History of American Indian Education" (K. Tsianina Lomawaima); (2) "Tribal Control of American Indian Education: Observations Since the 1960s with Implications for the Future" (John W. Tippeconnic III); (3) "Education and the Law: Implications for American Indian/Alaska Native Students" (Linda Sue Warner); (4) "Culturally Appropriate Curriculum: A Research-Based Rationale" (Tarajean Yazzie); (5) "Teaching through Traditions: Incorporating Languages and Culture into Curricula" (Linda Skinner); (6) "The Native American Learner and Bicultural Science Education" (Gregory A. Cajete); (7) "Student Assessment in Indian Education or What Is a Roach?" (Sandra J. Fox); (8) "Effective Counseling with American Indian Students" (Deborah Wetsit); (9) "The Role of Social Work in Advancing the Practice of Indigenous Education: Obstacles and Promises in Empowerment-Oriented Social Work Practice" (Michael J. Yellow Bird, Venida Chenault); (10) "American Indians and Alaska Natives in Higher Education: Promoting Access and Achievement" (D. Michael Pavel); (11) "Tribal Colleges: 1968-1998" (Wayne J. Stein); (12) "The Vanishing Native Reappears in the College Curriculum" (Clara Sue Kidwell); and (13) "Research To Support Improved Practice in Indian Education" (Karen Gayton Swisher, John W. Tippeconnic III). Contains references in each chapter and an index. (SV)
