The term "Native American" includes over 500 different groups and reflects great diversity of geographic location, language, socioeconomic conditions, school experience, and retention of traditional spiritual and cultural practices. However, most of the commercially prepared teaching materials available present a generalized image of Native American people with little or no regard for differences that exist from tribe to tribe. TEACHING SUGGESTIONS POSITIVE STRATEGIES A number of positive strategies can be used in classrooms, regardless of whether Native American children are members of the class.

Commonly Asked Questions About Child Care And The ADA 1. Q Does the Americans with Disabilities Act or ADA apply See United States v. Happy Time Day Care Center, (WD Wisc www.usdoj.gov/crt/ada/adahom1.htm. http://www.usdoj.gov/crt/ada/childq&a.htm
Extractions: Civil Rights Division Disability Rights Section COMMONLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT CHILD CARE CENTERS AND THE AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES ACT A: Yes. Privately-run child care centers like other public accommodations such as private schools, recreation centers, restaurants, hotels, movie theaters, and banks must comply with title III of the ADA. Child care services provided by government agencies, such as Head Start, summer programs, and extended school day programs, must comply with title II of the ADA. Both titles apply to a child care center's interactions with the children, parents, guardians, and potential customers that it serves. A child care center's employment practices are covered by other parts of the ADA and are not addressed here. For more information about the ADA and employment practices, please call the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (see question 30). 2. Q: Which child care centers are covered by title III?
FDA Backgrounder: Food Safety: A Team Approach which afflicts between 6.5 million and 33 million Americans every year. Consumers FDA s Outreach and Information Center 1888-SAFEFOOD (1-888-723 www.cdc.gov. http://vm.cfsan.fda.gov/~lrd/foodteam.html
Extractions: State and Local Governments September 24, 1998 The United States maintains one of the world's safest food supplies, thanks in large part to an interlocking monitoring system that watches over food production and distribution at every level-locally, statewide and nationally. Continual monitoring is provided by food inspectors, microbiologists, epidemiologists, and other food scientists working for city and county health departments, state public health agencies, and various federal departments and agencies. Their precise duties are dictated by local, state and national laws, guidelines and other directives. Some monitor only one kind of food, such as milk or seafood. Others work strictly within a specified geographic area. Others are responsible for only one type of food establishment, such as restaurants or meat-packing plants. Together they make up the U.S. food safety team. The Clinton administration's Food Safety Initiative, begun in 1997, strengthens the efforts of all the members of the nation's food safety team in the fight against food-borne illness, which afflicts between 6.5 million and 33 million Americans every year. One of the initiative's major programs got under way in May 1998 when the Department of Health and Human Services (which includes FDA), the U.S. Department of Agriculture, and the Environmental Protection Agency signed a memorandum of understanding to create a Food Outbreak Response Coordinating Group, or FORC-G. The new group will:
