More Book Details

Description of the Book:

What the Menominee Indian parents and their friends think are the problems with American Indian education in Shawano Joint School District No. 8, Minnesota, is treated in this document, in which, the authors state, the brief text is to be followed by extensive appendixes carefully constructed to provide scarce and relevant materials documenting the generalizations made in the text. The text includes the Menominee Educational Bill of Rights and a summary describing the consolidation of the Shawano School District, the stable school board membership, the school district conditions, the school administrators, the financial situation, a Title III Elementary and Secondary Education Act project, a statement of need, and the Menominee Indian student test performance characteristics. The summary describes generally the educational background conditions pertinent to understanding the problems of Menominee Indian education. The appendixes include a document on the “Operations of Office of Education (Conflict of Interest–Proposed Grant for Computerized Classroom)”; an article, “Cultural Absorption Threatens Tribe”; further test performance data on Menominee Indian children; and newspaper clippings dating from the summer of 1966 to July 20, 1970.
