Native Indian Teachers: A Key to Progress.

Kirkness, Verna J.

Canadian Journal of Native Education, v13 n1 p47-53 1986

Indian teachers are critical to the realization of quality education for the Indian population. Indians would be effective teachers of Indian identity, traditions, language, and psychology in addition to the usual subjects. Home-school and community-school relationships would likely improve if Native Indian staff were a significant presence in the schools. (JHZ)
