G. Cantoni (Ed.) (1996), Stabilizing Indigenous Languages Flagstaff: Center for Excellence in Education, Northern Arizona University Native American Student Panel Summary Jon Reyhner and Deborah House The student panel was held May 5, 1995, in the evening and was presided over by Selena Manychildren, Kii yaa' áani clan, Todích'íi' ní, Nakai Diné, originally from Grey Mountain, 45 miles from Flagstaff, Arizona. Participating students were Sylvia Wadsworth from Navajo Community College (NCC) Shiprock Campus; Carlos Begay, Byron Charley, and Velma Hale from NCC-Tsaile Campus; and Malcolm Benally, Theresa Yazzie, Karen Andrews, Sharon Bitah, and Claudia Chischilly from Northern Arizona University. Sylvia Wadsworth addressed the first question: "Is it worth your time to learn your language?" She answered "I appreciate my Navajo language. I'm glad I learned it and can understand, read and write it. My three kids speak Navajo; they were taught by my mom and dad." Sylvia was punished for speaking Navajo, and she first thought it would slow her kids down. But she changed her mind and concluded, "Our Navajo language is who we are." She has thought of ways to teach students in Navajo. She tells them to try to think about it and it will come to them. "As long as you can freely communicate in the classroom, it's OK. I'm glad I'm one of those who's helping them. I'm proud to be a Navajo, and speak, write, and understand." Carlos Begay responded, "The way I think about traditional language, through it I respect my elders. I have spoken Navajo from birth. I appreciate it and these sessions. I truly believe it's good. It's worth it that you're doing it for our youth and the next generation. Maybe we'll get back to traditions. Now there's graffiti, baggy pants, and caps on backwards that's not our people. We need to get back to tradition."

Home Newsroom "Share the Fame" Seeks to Teach Dangers of Drugs, Alcohol "Share the Fame" Seeks to Teach Dangers of Drugs, Alcohol With increasing numbers of juveniles under federal supervision in Native American communities, federal court officials are trying to deter drug and alcohol abuse by encouraging the youths' artistic expression. And they have enlisted the help of a faculty member of the performing arts school depicted in "Fame," a hit 1980 movie and '80s television series. "Share the Fame," a pilot community-outreach prevention program on North Dakota reservations, is intended to tap into Native American art and culture as a way of getting the message across. The idea for the pilot was born, literally, in mid-air during a flight in which Rene Green, a probation administrator with the Administrative Office of the United States Courts, took a seat next to Patrick Byers, dance musician and instructor with New York City's LaGuardia High School of Music and Art and the Performing Arts. Green and Byers discovered that they had a common interest in young people's education and development. "Rene is the person with the vision in this," said Byers, who composes music to accompany dance performances at LaGuardia, where students pursue academic studies while developing their artistic talents. "She recruited me to visit the reservations to see the tremendous talent there. I'm really impressed with her commitment to the kids."

Native American religious symbols such as the images of eagle feathers, symbols of clothing, song, dance and nicknames that refer to Indians are religious symbols.

67. INDIAN SCHOOLS - INTRODUCTION One of the saddest chapters in native American history has to be these childrenwho were to study hard and learn well so they could, in turn, teach others. http://members.aol.com/tawodi/carlisle/intro.html

The Education of Native Americans Mary Crow Dog, author of LAKOTA WOMAN , tells of BIA agents barging into the homes of the Sioux Indians and dragging children away from their families in order to assimilate them into "white society." She described the taking of those children to the boarding schools as "kidnapping." At the boarding schools, the children were forced to cut their hair, kept away from their families, sometimes were told their families were dead or didn t want them anymore and often abused both mentally and physically. In her book, she describes the schools as, "sterile, cold atmosphere, an unfamiliar routine, language problems, and above all the maza-skan-skan, that damn clock white man's time as opposed to Indian time, which is natural time." (p. 29). One of the saddest chapters in Native American history has to be these children who were forcibly removed from their homes and families to attend boarding schools. Many times, Indian children died at these schools - from diseases they had no natural immunity to, from homesickness and other factors. There are hundreds of graves, over 250 at Carlisle alone, of these children who suffered and died alone and lonely, far from all that was familiar to them, remembered only by those friends and family who mourned their loss. The children who survived the training were no better off - and in some cases worse off - than those who escaped the forced schooling. They often found themselves unwelcome in white society in spite of their painful acculterization process, and sometimes returned to their tribes to find they were no longer accepted there either.

CSUF Home News Research University News ... Image Library NSF Funds Study Into Utilizing American Indian Symbols to Teach Mathematics BY DAVE REID From Dateline (April 22, 2004) Charles Funkhouser When an Arapaho Indian student named Josephine Redman made a presentation on the relationship between mathematics and the beadwork she learned from her grandmother, an idea hit Charles Funkhouser. Now an associate professor of mathematics at Cal State Fullerton, Funkhouser was struck by the enormous possibilities of incorporating Native American cultural traditions into existing undergraduate math courses. One example: the wide variety of shapes and angles found in tribal sand paintings and teepee designs, which are based on Native American geometric conceptualizations, could be utilized to supplement traditional elements in teaching geometry, the branch of mathematics dealing with points, lines and figures. In a proposed lesson on the foundations of geometry, for example, students would complete problems from a traditional text and then work on a supplemental problem sheet related to Native American art and design, and its connection to Euclidean and transformational geometries, said Funkhouser.

Essays on Teaching the American Literatures (from the Heath Anthology Newsletter A Talk Concerning First Beginnings: Teaching Native American Oral Literature by Andrew Wiget New Mexico State University In addressing the issue of teaching Native American literature, I want to focus my attention on a single text, one that most teachers and students find very difficult: the Zuni Talk Concerning the First Beginning. [1, 26-40] This is a key text for a number of reasons: as a mythological text, it opens the entire question of worldview; as a transcription of an oral text, it raises all the aesthetic questions associated with oral performance and transcription; and as a foundational text, it establishes a framework for a subsequent exploration of another Zuni text, Sayatasha's Night Chant, [1, 2644-63] and for useful comparisons with foundational European texts of encounter. I would also like to call the reader's attention to a stimulating article by Jeanne Holland in a recent issue of the CEA Critic and respond to some of the issues she confronted in her attempts at teaching Native American literature from the Heath Anthology.

If you were a native child living as a member of a particular tribe, what determined the type of house you lived in? You now have the chance to understand the cultural and spiritual meanings of native tribal homes. Your students' task is the following: Explore several Web sites and determine what type of homes you might have seen crossing this country as a non-native individual. Why did the native people live in this type of home? Why was it constructed of the chosen material? Was it transported, and how? Did the Native Americans have different dwellings at different times of the year? Are their spiritual beliefs connected to the dwelling, materials, or even how the dwelling is entered? Presently, are there occasions in which tribal members still use these types of homes?

"Creating a culture of teaching and learning for perspective Native American teachers" will select 10 to 15 high school seniors to participate for three consecutive summers. The students will be chosen based on academic performance, positive character qualities, perseverance and the desire to become a teacher. Project directors, Judith Hankes and Gerald Fast will interview candidates as well and the candidates' parents and teachers. Students must nominate themselves in order to participate. "We want to identify capable young people and orient them to the culture of the university," said Fast. "We want to make this a comfortable place for them, a home away from home." The three workshops are designed to bring the students' level of understanding higher each time. In the first workshop, students will learn about elementary level mathematics and how to tutor elementary students.

It sounds a bit, well, poetic, but it's true! Kate Fiore, 2002 corps member Life Schools The corps Certification ... At a glance Life New Mexico is nicknamed the "Land of Enchantment" for good reason: it offers a wonderful diversity of beautiful landscapes not known in any other state. The northwest corner of New Mexico and the Four Corners region surrounding it boasts the famed Monument Valley, Canyon de Chelly, Chaco Canyon, the Bisti Wilderness, and the Grand Canyon. The rich culture of New Mexico reflects the influence of Native American, Spanish, Mexican, and European historical settlements. What northwestern New Mexican communities lack in big-town conveniences, they more than compensate for by access to excellent hiking areas, striking vistas, frequent encounters with wildlife, and open range livestock. Schools The corps Certification Fun facts The Heart Of Native America Each August, the town of Gallup hosts the Inter-Tribal Ceremonial, which attracts Native American tribes from across the country and thousands of international visitors.

At a glance Life Zydeco and Cajun dancing; canoeing in the bayous; the blues at Phil Brady's; tailgating and football. The unique cultures of South Louisiana have thrived, to a large degree, because of the region's geographic isolation. The swampland, which thwarted engineers' attempts to build superhighways in the region even after most of the country had been connected, still abounds. The best-known ethnic group in South Louisiana is the Cajuns-descendents of French pioneers. Louisiana is also home to Black Creoles of African and French heritage, Native Americans, European Americans, African Americans, and East Asian immigrants. Every year, festivals bring these different groups together to celebrate the various types of cuisine, music, and culture that make living in South Louisiana incomparable. Schools The corps Certification In order to work as a teacher in Louisiana, corps members must be enrolled in an alternative certification program that guarantees their status as "highly qualified" under the No Child Left Behind Act. In order to meet the diverse needs of our corps, Teach For America • South Louisiana has partnered with two different programs. The Practitioner Teacher Program (PTP) is an 18-month certification program. In order to complete PTP successfully, candidates must attend and participate in content seminars, post-observation discussions, mentor meetings, and professional development opportunities, and complete a teacher portfolio at the end of the first year. Corps members then earn a Level 1 certificate, valid for three years.
