Akweks, Kayeri - Cover Illusration and Design. 168 Pages Indexed. Fine book with flawless interior text pages. Power and Place examines the issues facing Native American students as they progress through the schools, colleges, and on into professions. This collection of sixteen essays is at once philosophic, practical, and visionary. Formal lndian education in America stretches from reservation preschools to prestigious urban universities far away from Indian cultural centers. This educational journey spans two distinct value systems and worldviews. In that meeting ground lies the opportunity for the two cultures to both teach and learn from one another. This book examines the issues facing Native American students as they progress through schools, colleges, and on into professions. This collection of sixteen essays is at once philosophic, practical, and visionary. It is an effort to open discussion about the unique experience of Native Americans and offers a concise reference for administrators, educators, students and community leaders involved with Indian education.
