Sharing Our Pathways, v7 n1-5 Jan-Dec 2002
This document contains the five issues of "Sharing Our Pathways" published in 2002. This newsletter of the Alaska Rural Systemic Initiative (AKRSI) documents efforts to make Alaska rural education--particularly science education--more culturally relevant to Alaska Native students. Articles include "Nurturing Native Languages" (Angayuqaq Oscar Kawagley); "Nikaitchuat Ixisabviat: An Inupiaq Immersion School" (Igxubuq Dianne Schaeffer); "Project Centered Education" (John Carlson); "Native Languages in Alaska" (Ruthie Sampson); "New Guidelines for Culturally Responsive School Boards Developed by Native Educators"; "Oral Traditional Knowledge: Does It Belong in the Classroom?" (Esther A. Ilutsik); "In the Maelstrom of Confusion, A Stilling Voice" (Angayuqaq Oscar Kawagley); "Who Is This Child Named WIPCE?" (Ac'arralek Lolly Sheppard Carpluk); "Draft Guidelines for Cross-Cultural Orientation Programs Developed" (Ray Barnhardt); "Revisiting Action-Oriented, Multi-Reality Research" (Angayuqaq Oscar Kawagley); "Local Culture and Academic Success Go Together" (Mike Hull); "Rakaumanga: Maori Immersion School Success Story" (Frank J. Keim); "Loving and Caring for Balance" (Angayuqaq Oscar Kawagley); and "Inuit Studies: Some Reflections" (Maricia Ahmasuk). Issues also describe conferences and professional development opportunities for Alaska teachers; successful practices in Alaska's five "cultural regions" (Athabascan, Yup'ik, Southeast, Alutiiq, and Inupiaq regions); curriculum resources available through the Alaska Native Knowledge Network; organizational news from AISES (the American Indian Science and Engineering Society); awards and funding opportunities; and undergraduate and graduate programs focused on indigenous knowledge. AKRSI regional contact information is included. (SV)
