Alaska Native Education by Ray Barnhardt,Angayuqaq Oscar Kawagley Pdf

Over the past century, the outside world has increasingly encroached on Alaska Native communities, and one of the consequences of that change has been a shift in the purpose and structure of schools in Alaska Native communities. Alaska Native Education brings together a variety of experts in the field of indigenous education to show the ways in which Alaska Natives have adopted and adapted outside ideas and rules regarding education and how they have frequently found them problematic and insufficient. The authors follow their analysis with suggestions of ways forward, emphasizing the benefits of blending new and old practices that will simultaneously prepare Alaska Native students for the future while preserving and strengthening their ties to the past."

Postsecondary Education for American Indian and Alaska Natives: Higher Education for Nation Building and Self-Determination by Bryan McKinley Jones Brayboy,Amy J. Fann,Angelina E. Castagno,Jessica A. Solyom Pdf

After decades of national, state, and institutional initiatives to increase access to higher education, the college pipeline for American Indian and Alaska Native students remains largely unaddressed. As a result, little is known and even less is understood about the critical isues, conditions, and postsecondary transitions of this diverse group of students. Framed around the concept of tribal nation building, this monograph reviews the research on higher education for Indigenous peoples in the United States. It offers an analysis of what is currently known about postsecondary education among Indigenous students, Native communities, and tribal nations. Also offered is an overview of the concept of tribal nation building, with the suggestion that future research, policy, and practice center the ideas of nation building, sovereignty, Indigenous knowledge systems, and culturally responsive schooling.

Characteristics of American Indian and Alaska Native Education by D. Michael Pavel Pdf

This report summarizes findings of the 1990-91 Schools and Staffing Survey (SASS) with regard to schools that serve American Indian and Alaska Native students. The Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) and federally recognized tribal organizations under BIA grants and contracts operate 149 elementary and secondary schools. In addition, 1,260 public schools are considered to have high Indian student enrollment (over 25 percent). These two types of schools are located mainly in rural areas and small towns. However, of the 445,425 American Indian and Alaska Native students enrolled in grades K-12, 56 percent attend public schools with low Indian enrollment. Chapters contain many data tables and figures and provide information for the three school types on the following: (1) school and student profiles (school size, rurality, region, student sex and race/ethnicity, bilingual education and remedial programs, free or reduced-price lunch, and college preparation); (2) demographic characteristics and qualifications of principals and teachers (percentage that are American Indian/Alaska Native, degrees earned, and administrative or teaching experience), schools with formal evaluation and mentoring programs for teachers, and percentage of full-time noninstructional staff; (3) principal and teacher salaries and benefits; (4) principal ratings of educational objectives, principal and teacher ratings of school problems, teacher and student absenteeism rates, principal beliefs about influence of various stakeholders on school practices, and principal career plans; and (5) teacher supply and demand, certification, and shortages, as well as teacher recruitment strategies. Appendices contain technical notes on the SASS and tables of variance estimates. Contains an index and a list of additional resources on the SASS. (SV)

Characteristics of American Indian and Alaska Native Education by D. Michael Pavel,Thomas R. Curtin Pdf

This report summarizes findings of the 1993-94 Schools and Staffing Survey (SASS) with regard to schools that serve American Indian and Alaska Native students, and examines trends since 1990-91 when data were previously collected. In 1993-94, the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) and federally recognized tribes with BIA funding operated 170 elementary and secondary schools. In addition, 1,244 public schools had high Indian enrollment (at least 25 percent American Indian and Alaska Native students). These two types of schools were typically small and located in rural areas and small towns. However, of the 491,936 American Indian and Alaska Native students enrolled in K-12 classes, 53 percent attended public schools with low Indian enrollment. Chapters contain many data tables and figures and provide information for the three school types on the following: (1) school and student profiles (school location and size, student race/ethnicity, school programs and services, student-to-staff ratios, graduation rates and requirements, free and reduced-price lunch rates, student linguistic characteristics, support services, and student outcomes); (2) principal characteristics and attitudes (educational background, teaching experience, specialized training, salaries, school goals, perceptions of school problems and influential groups, and career plans); (3) teacher characteristics (demography, qualifications, salaries, and perceptions of problems); (4) teacher supply and demand; and (5) trends since 1991. Appendices include technical notes, tables of estimates and standard errors, and additional resources on SASS. Contains 71 references and an index. (SV)

American Indian Education by Jon Reyhner,Jeanne Eder Pdf

In this comprehensive history of American Indian education in the United States from colonial times to the present, historians and educators Jon Reyhner and Jeanne Eder explore the broad spectrum of Native experiences in missionary, government, and tribal boarding and day schools. This up-to-date survey is the first one-volume source for those interested in educational reform policies and missionary and government efforts to Christianize and “civilize” American Indian children. Drawing on firsthand accounts from teachers and students, American Indian Education considers and analyzes shifting educational policies and philosophies, paying special attention to the passage of the Native American Languages Act and current efforts to revitalize Native American cultures.

Next Steps by Karen Gayton Swisher,John Tippeconnic Pdf

"What is "Indian education" today? What will it look like in the future? These were the questions Karen Gayton Swisher and John W. Tippeconnic III posed to a dozen leading American Indian scholars and practitioners. They responded with the essays in Next Steps: Research and Practice to Advance Indian Education, which explore two important themes. The first is education for tribal self-determination. Tribes are now in a position to exercise full control of education on their lands. They have the authority to establish and enforce policies that define the nature of education for their constituents, just as states do for their school districts. The second theme is the need to turn away from discredited deficit theories of education, and turn instead to an approach that builds on the strengths of Native languages and culture and the basic resilience of Indigenous peoples. This second theme could be especially important for the 90 percent of Indian students who attend public schools. Next Steps is appropriate for multicultural and teacher education programs. It addresses facets of K-12 and post-secondary Native American education programs, including their history, legal aspects, curriculum, access, and achievement"--Back cover.

Alaska Native Cultures and Issues by Libby Roderick Pdf

Making up more than ten percent of Alaska's population, Native Alaskans are the state's largest minority group. Yet most non-Native Alaskans know surprisingly little about the histories and cultures of their indigenous neighbors, or about the important issues they face. This concise book compiles frequently asked questions and provides informative and accessible responses that shed light on some common misconceptions. With responses composed by scholars within the represented communities and reviewed by a panel of experts, this easy-to-read compendium aims to facilitate a deeper exploration and richer discussion of the complex and compelling issues that are part of Alaska Native life today.

Yuuyaraq by Harold Napoleon Pdf

This document traces the influence of various epidemics (such as smallpox in 1835-1840, and influenza and measles, known as the 'Great Death', in 1900) on the Yup'ik Eskimo peoples of northwest Alaska, and suggests that they resulted in Post-traumatic Stress Syndrome (PTSS) which may underlie current social problems, such as alcoholism and dysfunctional behaviours.

Alaska Native Political Leadership and Higher Education by Michael Jennings Pdf

Through an in-depth study of Alaskan indigenous communities, Jennings explores the relationship between land and education. He reveals how Euro-American institutions attempt to redefine indigenous understandings of land and spirituality to make them conform to those in the dominant society. The author proposes educational agendas that are components of native sovereignty, with their distinctive spiritual, intellectual, and material relationships to land. This book is valuable for educational policymakers, and instructors in education, anthropology and Native American studies.
