Book excerpt: This volume consists of essays by Native Americans who are intimately involved in Indian education. All of these professionals, educators and scholars are deeply committed to the continuity of Native American identity and culture. Assembled at the first Native American Teacher Corps Conference in 1973, they shared their varied experiences. These essays are the outgrowth of that historic meeting. They discuss the problems and challenges in Indian education today, from the need for political mobilization to the planning and administration of Indian demonstration schools and programs in Native American studies. Their analyses demonstrate deep feeling, commitment and a keen understanding of the unique cultural differences between Indians and non-Indians.
