American Indian Education books conferences articles columns ... home American Indian/Alaska Native Education: An Overview Jon Reyhner, Northern Arizona University Introduction After four centuries of precipitous population decline to a low of about 237,000 in 1900, American Indian and Alaska Native populations in the United States began to increase at the turn of the century. That increase now is accelerating. According to the United States Census, the Native population of the United States more than doubled between 1970 and 2000, from one million to almost two and half million. Half of this population lives in urban areas and less than a third on Reservations. The 2,476,000 Native Americans represent some 500 different tribes, each with its own unique culture, and 200 surviving languages. But as population increases, American Indian languages and cultures are being lost, partly as a result of federal and state education policies over most of the last two centuries that called for the "Americanization" of Indian students. A note on terminology is necessary here. I will follow terminology chosen by the Indian Nations at Risk Task Force. They preferred to use the term

Alaska Native Education Summit Juneau, Alaska March 1-4, 2000 Group 1 - Develop an Alaska Native Education Action Plan . This group reviewed the issues that were raised in the Summit (as well as the 1999 Leadership Retreat Recommendations) and developed a preliminary outline of where we would like to be with Native education in Alaska by the year 2010. Recommendations of this group included: 1) Local cultural values shall be the preamble to all curriculum documents and instructional programs. 2) Community members/culture bearers must greet and welcome new teaching staff and share local values, traditions. 3) School Districts must support Native educators to participate in BMEEC (Bilingual and Multicultural Education Equity Conference) and NEC (Native Educators Conference) 4) Native Educators should join their regional Native Educators Association. 5) Native Corporations should support actions/activities and development of their regional Native Educators Associations. 6) Encourage local school boards and administrators to anticipate worse case scenarios with regards to State's Exam. A local plan must be established.

31. Education In Greenland with the Inuit of Northern alaska, who migrated looking after the management of vocational education, and the which parents, members of school boards and local http://www.ankn.uaf.edu/edgreen.html

Education in Greenland Karl Kristian Olsen Director of Inerisaavik Greenland is the world's largest island, 2,175,600 square kilometres in area, of which 1,833,900 sq km is locked into the glacial icecap. The land is characterized by deeply indented fjords and high mountains. The length of the longest fjord is fully 400 kilometres, and the highest mountain rises 3,733 metres. Some of the fjords have active glaciers which produce the largest icebergs in the northern hemisphere. The coastal waters and the non-glaciated land support a variety of fish, sea mammals, birds and mammals. Greenland's present population is believed to have originated with the Inuit of Northern Alaska, who migrated to Greenland approximately 1,000 years ago. The land had previously been populated by various North American cultures and by Vikings from Iceland but, presumably owing to climatic changes, it has been the present Inuit population who have survived. There are also approximately 10,000 Danish residents in the country. The population is now about 56,000 of which 14,000 reside in the capital city, Nuuk. The principal occupations are fishing and the hunting of birds and sea mammals. In South Greenland there is a modest amount of farming concentrating on the raising of sheep supplemented by some fishing. New occupational activities centre around tourism, which is gaining a foothold in some places.
