Our Children Can't Wait: Recapturing the Essence of Indigenous Schools in the United States.
Pewewardy, Cornel
Cultural Survival Quarterly, v22 n1 p29-34 Spr 1998
Strategies for reforming public education to meet the needs of Native Americans must include holistic, multicultural approaches that infuse indigenous content throughout the curriculum; interpret equal education to mean equal accomplishment, not the same educational treatment; and make teachers culturally responsible. Successes with magnet, charter, and tribally controlled schools are reviewed. (Contains 18 references.) (TD)
