Abstract	Discussion by Native American community groups of the design of relevant curriculum is encouraged through reading this paper, working on suggested activities and questions, and applying the information to improve local situations. Wholistic curriculum is compared to the tradition of how to perform a sacred ceremony, a description of what is to be learned and how it is to be taught, and a starting place of unfolding human potential. Involvement of family and community as well as school in generating curriculum is emphasized and the advantages of traditional native education are discussed. Examples of a wholistic curriculum based on the family are given including day care opportunities and family development program. A reading list and numerous quotations by historical and contemporary Native Americans are provided. (LFL)
