Ray Barnhardt
Excerpt: "
American Indian/First Nations/Native
people have been historically under-represented in the ranks of
college and university graduates in Canada and the United States.
From an institutional perspective, the problem has been typically
defined in terms of low achievement, high attrition, poor retention,
weak persistence, etc., thus placing the onus for adjustment on the
student."
HIGHER
EDUCATION IN THE FOURTH WORLD: Indigenous People Take
Control
Ray Barnhardt
Excerpt: "Very early in their deliberations, the people
of the North Slope Borough identified education as a critical concern
- in fact gaining control of their schools from the federal Bureau of
Indian Affairs was one of the incentives for establishing the Borough
in the first place. Control over education was viewed as essential if
Inupiat people were to have access to the kind of education they felt
they needed to shape their own destiny."
Domestication
of the Ivory Tower: Institutional Adaptation to Cultural
Distance
Ray Barnhardt
Excerpt: "Several years ago, a student and a faculty
member in our off-campus teacher education program went on a hunting
trip out on the tundra of western Alaska. The student, a Yup’ik Eskimo who
had grown up in the area, had completed only a few years of formal schooling
but had successfully worked as a teacher’s aide in the local school and
had decided to pursue becoming a
certificated teacher."
