    About this ebook

    In this increasingly homogenous society, the American Indian Studies Program Guide provides a framework for college educators and administrators to develop degree programs focusing on American Indian studies, with an eye toward creating future leaders for Indian communities.

    These degree programs are intended to help American Indians gain control of their own educational systems and develop institutions that can help to reverse the alarmingly high dropout rate. This book provides all the tools necessary for college educators and administrators to develop top-notch programs, including:

    Diagnostic tests to determine students level of knowledge
    Defined learning goals and objectives
    Seminar descriptions
    Established grading criteria
    Useful outside resources

    Six courses make up the interdisciplinary curriculum: The North American Indian, American Indian History, American Indian Law and Federal Policy, American Indian Religion and Philosophy, American Indian Literature, and the History of American Indian Education.

    The American Indian Studies Program Guide offers a proven approach and insights into the problems American Indians have faced in the past and the battles they continue to fight today.

      AMERICAN INDIAN STUDIES PROGRAM

      PROGRAM DEVELOPMENT

      Purpose Mission, Program Objectives

      The purpose of the mission statement is to guide the academic leadership of a college or university in determining what educational programs are appropriate for the institution’s curriculum by clearly identifying the department or school’s overall purpose. A written statement of purpose helps to maintain stability and continuity. In creating a philosophical framework for an American Indian Studies program the following criteria has been established.

      Purpose of an American Indian Studies Program

      The future direction for American Indian education is self-determination so American Indians can control their own educational systems, and their own political, social and spiritual institutions so that the alarmingly high dropout rate of Indian students can be retarded. The purpose of the American Indian Studies Program is to create future leaders for Indian communities.

      Mission Statement

      A mission statement is a written statement of purpose that serves as the foundation on which the department or university serves, and as the foundation on which the department builds and justifies the grounds for its existence within the university.

      Mission Statement for an American Indian Studies Program

      The American Indian Studies Program is designed to present a conceptual framework for students to gain knowledge of a spiritual/ecological/ holistic way of life that has existed for thousands of years in Native North America. The tribal life ways of Native peoples from pre-contact times through the contemporary area allows students to experience tribal histories, ancient religions, various art forms, musical styles and media as an integral element of American Indian cultural expression. The foundation of American Indian Studies programs is Indian cultural and spiritual values regarding the ecological caretaking of mother earth, and vocational/technical skills they so can began using these skills in the service of their Indian communities early in their college careers.

      Program Goals

      Goal One: It is an objective of ________ college/university to implement a two-year associate of arts degree in American Indian Studies or a three year bachelor of arts degree in American Indian Studies.

      Goal Two: It is an objective of ________ college/university to provide liberal arts courses in American Indian Studies that are transferable to four year universities.

      Goal Three: It is an objective of ________ college/university to provide students with opportunities to learn the Cherokee language, history and culture.

      Goal Four: It is an objective of ________ college/university to increase student understanding and comprehension of American
