| Sumario: | This text discusses how American Indian educators define their roles and judge their achievements. The author examines the ways they address the complex issues of cultural identity that affect their students and themselves and how educators cope with the pressures of teaching disadvantaged students while meeting the requirements for reservation schools. This book includes personal accounts and candid comments about teacher's choice of profession; their position as teachers, role models, and social service agents; and the sometimes harsh realities of reservation life, offering unique insight into the challenges and rewards of providing an education to Native American students. Native American educators meet daunting challenges with enduring optimism and persistence. The insights these educators offer can serve those in other communities where students navigate a difficult path out of discrimination and poverty. |
