Information Literacy Blog ERIC Identifier: Publication Date: Author: Reyhner, Jon Source: ERIC Clearinghouse on Rural Education and Small Schools Charleston WV. Teaching Reading to American Indian/Alaska Native Students. ERIC Digest. Teachers looking for ways to help students improve their reading are faced with conflicting advice from the experts. Some recommend emphasizing "phonics" while others promote a "whole language" approach. Phonics advocates ground their approach in behaviorist learning theory and support their claims about its effectiveness by pointing to comparison studies; likewise, whole language advocates ground their approach in constructivist learning theory and base their claims on ethnographic classroom studies (Chall, 2000; McQuillan, 1998). In between the phonics and whole language camps, and often criticized by both, are advocates of a "balanced approach," drawing methodology from both sides. While early reading experiences can depend on learning how letters in words relate to sounds (phonemic awareness) and how to pronounce those sounds, students who later continue to focus on these sounds become poor readers. At around the third grade, "learning to read" shifts to developing competency in "reading to learn." "The Nation's Report Card" cited earlier indicates that the majority of AI/AN students may be having difficulty making that transition.

I have been a public schools teacher for twelve years, and I am also a historian and have written several books on American and Native American history. I also just happen to be Quebeque French, Metis, Ojibwa, and Iroquois. Because my Indian ancestors were on both sides of the struggle between the Puritans and the New England Indians and I am well versed in my cultural heritage and history both as an Anishnabeg (Algokin) and Hodenosione (Iroquois), it was felt that I could bring a unique insight to the project.

Documents menu File: RELIGION TEACH Last update: 29 January 1995 Author: Ronald L. Grimes (rgrimes@mach1.wlu.ca) Teaching Native American Religions By Ronald L. Grimes, [29 January 1995] I am submitting this query to invite reflection on three questions: Should or should not European Americans be teaching courses on Native American religions? If we should not, why not, and what would be the results of our deferral? If we should, how best can we proceed? I am giving much thought these days to the question of cultural imperialism, especially its religious and academic forms. While on leave, I have been asked by the Department of Religious Studies at the University of Colorado, Boulder, to teach a very large, publicly visible introductory course on Native American religions. Vine Deloria teaches here. So does Sam Gill. So does Ward Churchill. So does Deward Walker. Until recently, so did David Carrasco. This is an sizeable concentration of authorities, of various sorts, on indigenous cultures, politics, law, and religions. Ordinarily, I teach courses on indigenous religions at Wilfrid Laurier, a small Canadian university where I do what I do in relative obscurity, at considerable distance from indigenous populations of the American Southwest, where I do most of my fieldwork, and at a remove from high-profile scholars whose names are regularly associated with Native American studies. Currently, this campus is the locus of a highly charged stand-off that no one talks much Sabout in public. In part, the issue has to do with academic, religious, and cultural turf. Often it does not have to do with who is right or wrong on a given issue, but with who ought to be speaking about such issues. Anyone who has read Churchill's critique (in Fantasies of the Master Race) of Gill's Mother Earth or heard Deloria's public but unpublished reflections on that book knows there are good reasons for Euroamerican scholars not to rush in, fools, where angels fear to tread.

Gorman Museum Links and Connections Honoring David Risling Jr. (Hupa/Yurok/Karuk) Tribute by Prof. Jack D. Forbes Welcome to the Department of Native American Studies, a unique exploration in Native American intellectual sovereignty. Each one of our faculty is deeply committed to the advancement of indigenous knowledge, the social, political and economic self-determination of the indigenous people of the Americas, and the full exercise of indigenous sovereignty. In the NAS Program we conceive and practice the humanities and social sciences as an enterprise of creativity in diversity and the constant search for social justice and cultural democracy. Scholarly rigor and theoretical clarity must be accompanied by an attentive gaze to the needs of the Native American communities to whom we are accountable.Recently, the University and the Department received a gift from the Rumsey Indian Rancheria to create an Endowed Chair in California Indian Studies. The Endowed Chair will help the Department to strengthen its contacts through community/internship programs with California Indian communities and reservations. Undergraduate Program The Native American Studies major and minor programs provide a multi-disciplinary introduction to the indigenous cultures of North, Central, and South America. They challenge students to consider issues of cultural diversity, sovereignty, and indigenous knowledge systems in preparation for living in a world of constantly increasing social and cultural complexity. Native American Studies is excellent preparation for careers in teaching, writing, scholarship, law, human services, health, tribal administration, social work, and inter-ethnic relations. Schools and agencies in these areas are looking for students with broad interdisciplinary preparation, who possess knowledge and sensitivity relating to ethnic issues and cultural diversity.

Welcome! Dear Friends and Colleagues, My name is Carmen Lopez (Ed.M. class of 2000) and it is my great honor to return to the HUNAP community as the Interim Executive Director. On behalf of the Harvard University Native American Program (HUNAP), I extend a warm welcome to all! While HUNAP has existed in various forms since its inception in 1970 as a program to train Native American leaders in the field of education, only recently has it been designated as one of Harvard's twelve Interfaculty Initiatives. Consistent with the Harvard University charter of 1650 calling for the "education of English and Indian youth," HUNAP has developed partnerships with established faculties at Harvard to build viable programs of research, teaching, and outreach on issues affecting the lives of indigenous peoples. While these scholarly activities are central to the mission of the program and of a great university, HUNAP maintains a strong emphasis on student support and development. We invite you to browse the features of our program and share our excitement as Harvard University reinvigorates its commitment to American Indian issues, students, leaders, and nations.

Despite the fact that most Native cultures have a deep cultural bond with Earth and awareness of its processes, Earth science expertise in Native communities is low, according to Riggs and Semken ( [Riggs and Semken, 2001] ). Native Americans as an under-represented group are of particular concern for Earth and environmental science educators because of the large land base managed by tribal authorities coupled with the simultaneous lack of professional scientific expertise within reservation communities themselves ( [Riggs and Marsh, 1998] [Riggs and Semken, 2001] ). Finding ways to raise the expertise of Native Americans in the Earth sciences will result in more scientific and intellectual diversity for the geoscience community, as well as security and scientific autonomy for the Native peoples of North America ( [Riggs and Semken, 2001]
