Listening to elders and learning from the stories they  have to share is vital to native youths'' sense of self and for  continuing tribal cultural practices. When western-European models  of education claimed prominence in the United States, natives''  traditional oral ways of learning suffered severely. This book  examines a five and one-half year research project in which an oral  history curriculum was designed and implemented in four  reservation schools in two tribal communities in the Upper Midwest.  Common characteristics of traditional Indian education are discussed  and a history of \"formal\" Indian Education provides a context for  viewing the damage to traditional native education. An overview of  an oral history curriculum is presented with a discussion about how  community plays a vital role in its success. Using both quantitative  and qualitative instruments, an evaluation of the curriculum is  explained through preliminary analyses, formative and short-term  outcome measures.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9783838339238\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eStrengthening Traditional American Indian Education\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Autorenwelt Shop","offers":[{"title":"Softcover - 9783838339238","offer_id":39498892476509,"sku":"9783838339238","price":59.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0622\/files\/fa75fe2f-a74a-4809-8b45-d4bbdecbf858.jpg?v=1776496219","url":"https:\/\/shop.autorenwelt.de\/en\/products\/oral-history-and-native-youth-von-jeanne-a-lacourt","provider":"Autorenwelt Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
