We Look at Indian Education. A Summer Workshop (Tempe, Arizona, 1957).
McPherson, Orpha, Comp.
Intended to build a background of understanding that "Indians are people" and deserve the best opportunities available, the 5-week workshop dealt with techniques and materials for teachers of American Indian children. Participants included primary, intermediate, junior and senior high, and adult education teachers. This bulletin presents the material developed by the workshop participants. The historical and cultural information covers: statistical data showing growth of Indian Education; population of Arizona Indian reservations as of December 31, 1955; history of education of the Pima, Papago, and Maricopa Indians; the Navajo and education; the historical background of the Havasupai, Hualapai, Yavapai and Paiute Indians; a brief history of formal education among the Hopi Indians; a brief history of Mohave-Cocopah-Yuma tribes; the education of the Apache, yesterday and today; Papago adult education; cultural background of Arizona Indians and of the Paiute, Apache, Havasupai, and Navajo; and the culture of the Papago, Pima, and Maricopa people. Information is also given on Indians in Arizona's public schools--factors concerning Johnson-O'Malley contract funds, communications, communication through writing, common speech errors, and oral response.
