Beschreibungen/Notizen
Outlining the general historical, legal, and educational context within which Canadian Indian education developed, this monograph addresses the following topics: (1) Federal Responsibility for Indian Education (the Royal Proclamation of 1763; the Indian Act of 1876; treaties, etc.); (2) Provincial Involvement in Indian Education (revision of the Indian Act and initiation of the Joint School Program, a policy which ultimately transferred all responsibility for Indian education to the provinces); (3) A Search For Educational Legitimacy (in view of the failures of policy makers and "experts", legitimate Indian education must be relevant to and supported by the Indian community); (4) Some Criteria for an Alternative (community control; parental involvement and alliance with teachers who are responsible to the community; positive psychological impact on children via role models, cultural recognition, and elimination of standardized tests; instructional materials that accurately reflect past and present Indian experiences); (5) Alternative Model (the school perceived as only part of a community, social, cultural, recreational "learning center", serving as the focal point of community life and providing comprehensive community education); (6) Teachers and Community (a tripartite teaching role involving instruction, curriculum development, and community involvement via the retraining of "professional" educators).
