"Focus on American Indian/Alaska Native Student Concerns," addresses cultural adjustment to school environments, health problems, academic skills, and counseling. "Improving Relations between Schools and American Indian/Alaska Native Communities," considers student, community, school, parent, and teacher interrelationships. "Methodologies Which Affect and Improve the Self-Image of American Indian/Alaska Native Students," considers classroom environment and integrated curricula, emphasizing language arts and teacher-student interaction patterns. "Looking to the Future for American Indian/Alaska Native Students," reviews contemporary trends and forecasts future directions.
