The Role of Aboriginal Parents in Public Education: Barriers to Change in an Urban Setting.
Friedel, Tracy L.
Canadian Journal of Native Education, v23 n2 p139-58 1999
A qualitative study examined the role of Aboriginal parents in a Canadian urban public elementary school with high Native enrollment. Despite the existence of an alternative K-6 Native program and a parent advisory committee, Aboriginal parents felt they had little impact on school decision making. Parent-school struggles over culture-based curriculum are described. (Contains 41 references.) (SV)
