The Change in Self-Image of Oglala Sioux Ninth Grade Students Through the Development and Testing of an Indian Culture Curriculum. Final Report.
One Feather, Vivian
To enable the student to better his self-image, this project endeavors to give the student opportunity to acquire factual knowledge as well as new experience and skills. Through an integrated program of instructional materials, the 9th grade Oglala Sioux student studies the history and culture of the Oglala people on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation. The basic materials were collected through interviews with Oglala Sioux elders and available reading materials and photographs. The 6 instructional units cover topics such as: kinship structure, land, economy, games, legends, and government. Evaluation was based on pre-testing and post-testing 9th graders with comparative analysis with 9th grade students in a control group. The appended Curricula Guide lists (1) the general principles and objectives of an Indian Studies Curriculum for Pine Ridge Indian Reservation and (2) the concepts, objectives, attitudes, and resources for each unit of the Ninth Grade Oglala Sioux Curriculum. The texts of the 6 units are under separate covers in this report. (Author/FF)
