Problems with Citizenship Education and Language. Native Viewpoints.
Steinhauer, Noella
Canadian Social Studies, v30 n4 p163-64 Sum 1996
Discusses the difficulties Indian students have with civics and government classes. The tribal value system of reciprocal respect and loyalty is often antithetical to many political concepts such as confrontational politics and special interest groups. This, in turn, leads to a distrust of the idea of self-government. (MJP)
