Recommendations:
1. Encourage Iñupiaq
subsistence curriculum development. There is a large void here. This
might include contracting with someone to prepare materials from the
Simon Paniak Museum for publication, as well as encouraging Elmer
Jackson to further develop his draft, and NWASD to make their
materials classroom ready.
2. Work with Jerry Lipka and
Ciulistet to encourage publication of their materials. These
materials form the backbone (or could) of subsistence materials from
the Yup'ik area.
3. Encourage Aleut and Alutiiq
subsistence curriculum development. There is a huge void here. I am
not sure what to suggest. I have worked with Cugachmiut on
subsistence curriculum, but their focus is on language materials at
present. Perhaps the Alutiiq Museum and KANA might be the best bets.
There is a fur seal curriculum planned for the Pribilofs, but it is
only in the planning stages.
4. Encourage the publication of
the TCC Headstart materials. Sara Kienzli the Director, is looking
for a commercial publisher, but it would be a good idea to make
contact with her again in the spring, as she is extremely busy, and
may only follow up to a limited extent. If she is unable to find a
commercial publisher, I would recommend that ANKN co-publish or
something. She also has information of traditional child rearing
practices and beliefs for the Koyukon and Gwich'in areas.
5. Fund more updating and
publishing of Iditarod School District materials. It would be nice to
see another 6 developed, and then all 13 published together as a
book.
6. Encourage development of the
Salmon Curriculum Matrix, as a way of integrating SE Alaska materials
in a larger framework.
7. Stay abreast of the 7th
Grade curriculum David Thunder Eagle and Pat Partnow are creating at
CITC.
