Education as Power. Report of Americans for Indian Opportunity Title IV, Part A, Technical Assistance Conference (Albuquerque, New Mexico, October 4-6, 1977).
Americans for Indian Opportunity, Inc., Albuquerque, NM.
Included in this report on the 1977 Title IV Part A Technical Assistance conference held in Albuquerque are: (1) a descriptive narrative of conference events; (2) a summary of the 120 evaluation responses; and (3) the resolutions adopted by conference participants as a specific vehicle to make their concerns known to the Office of Indian Education (OIE), other Indian groups, the Congress, etc. Centering on the theme "Education as Power", the conference agenda is described as including: speeches and workshops addressing the following three sub-themes: "Parent and Student Power"; "Knowledge as Power" (included workshop sessions aimed at program development, organizational development, and cultural bases for Title IV Part A programs); and "Institutional Power". Conference participants (N=322) are identified as: parent committees, school administrators, students, and Title IV coordinators coming from Arizona, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Texas. The resolutions presented here reflect concern that the National Indian Education Association establish a division located in Washington, D. C. to monitor legislative and administrative activity and to develop a communications system for all Parent Committees to provide such information on a timely basis, and that all conference participants call upon the President and the Congress to support and pass legislation extending the Indian Education Act and to provide full funding to meet the special needs of Indian children.
