This comprehensive illustrated volume presents a wide-ranging picture of the schooling of Alaska Native children from past to present. It explores the histories of changing philosophies of schooling and their effect on generations of Alaska Native students, details the situation—financial, social, and educational—of the many rural schools serving this population, and offers cogent, straightforward proposals for improving the intellectual, emotional, and spiritual health of present and future generations of Alaska Natives.
