TITLE: Cultural Studies in Indian Education. Position
Paper.
YEAR PUBLISHED: 1972
NOTE: 22 p.
ABSTRACT: A broad interpretation of cultural studies is
used in this position paper. The need for insight and
appreciation of cultural diversity between American Indians
and non-Indians is described by cultural pluralism and its
application in Indian education, and response to cultural
pluralism--programs and activities in the Indian community.
The responses are local/community projects, regional/state
programs, community centers, and the development of
organized cultural materials programs. Some of the
materials programs include writing original histories,
studies of Indian government and legal systems, linguistic
information, Indian literature, and curriculum change and
development. It is noted that the future of the Indian
people will largely be determined by the acquisition of
skills necessary to live in a rapidly changing
technological society. (PS)
