This paper provides information regarding a joint curriculum project between Stanford University and the Pueblo of Zuni in New Mexico. The project is an outgrowth of the Stanford/Zuni Committee, a unique collaborative effort that is guarded by sensitivity to previous Indian research experiences and a commitment to useful consultation with the tribe. This report presents the epidemiology of Zuni suicide and notes that the suicide rate of Indian youth is three times that of white youth. Treatment programs used in other reservation communities are briefly reviewed. The document describes the Stanford prevention strategy, which uses a social skills training model. The project operates under the belief that favorable outcomes could result from the use of an intervention that focuses primarily on developing in students the independent use of target skills outside the school context. Although the project is not complete, it is hoped that Zuni students will be able to regulate their own behavior better as they acquire the transactional skills of coping. The project's curriculum and proposed implementation plan are described in detail. (TES)
