Abstract | The result of extensive research addressing the unique needs and problems of American Indians, the report concludes that a singular solution to the multiple educational problems of the Indian is precluded by variances in location, tribal size, politics, and language and cultural disparities. Giving an overview of Indian education and problems, 7 recommendations are also listed: (1) Indians must be given full control of their schools without further delay; (2) all programs must respect Indian cultural values; (3) increased professional and paraprofessional guidance and counseling services by Indians must be provided; (4) higher education programs should be enlarged and improved; (5) Indian vocational education also needs improvement; (6) extensive, imaginative research and analysis needs to be done on Indian education; and (7) public school programs for Indian children must be strengthened. Statistics used in this report were believed to be the most reliable, although it is noted that government statistics on Indians vary from agency to agency. (KM) |
