Getting Smarter About Indian Education: Who Has The Power?

A new study has put a spotlight on what organizations, universities and people influence American Indian/Alaska Native education the most.

The study, 鈥淔or Our Children: A Study and Critical Discussion of the Influences on American Indian and Alaska Native Education Policy,鈥 was done by Hollie J. Mackey, University of Oklahoma assistant professor of education, and Linda Sue Warner, special assistant to the president on Indian affairs at Northeastern A&M College in Miami, Oklahoma. Their intent was to 鈥渄etermine and describe the baseline influential studies, organizations, information sources, and people for American Indian/Alaska Native education policy through the lens of indigenous education experts in the field.鈥
