Minnesota Indian Education Hearings Report, November 1976.
Jones, Ramona
Summarizing the analyses of testimonies presented before the Minnesota Subcommittee on Indian Education by both Indians and nonIndians concerned and/or involved with national, state, or local Indian education, this report focuses on findings at the statewide and individual site levels (Minneapolis, St. Paul, Red Wing, Cass Lake, Duluth, White Earth, and Red Lake). Additionally, this document presents: methods employed in analysis; detailed recommendations; limitations; and appendices (comprised of definitions, the content analysis code structure, table of contents--written testimonies, frequencies of responses per major categories by item names, total priorities per hearing site by major categories, priorities per major categories as indicated by total number of responses, and summary of data by races for each site). Supporting documents of graphs, charts, tables, etc. are presented both within the main text and the appendices. Specific recommendations are generalized into the following three areas: to improve existing Indian education programs; to better facilitate local, state, tribal, and Federal educational legislation and administration; and to fulfill Indian rights and equal educational opportunities guaranteed by treaty and civil rights that are sometimes unfulfilled due to conflicts with the states' roles and responsibilities per Indian self-determination, or desegregation, or the unmet special needs of Indian children.
