Due to the voluminous nature of the report of the Task Force on the Educational Needs of Native Peoples, this summary of its recommendations has been prepared. The recommendations pertain to the teaching staff and teacher training; counselling staff and counsellor training programmes; curriculum; Indian control of Indian education; financial assistance to treaty Indian students, Metis, and non-status Indian students; adult education, retraining, and upgrading programmes; culturally-oriented programmes and resource centres; student boarding homes; busing; recreation and physical education; and supportive services to Native people--day care, health services, drug and alcohol abuse programmes, and courtworker and correctional services. Recommendations which did not fit in these areas are also included. Among the recommendations are that: teachers of Indian children receive courses in Native culture, history, and philosophy taught by Native people; incentives be provided to encourage highly-qualified teachers to practise in Native communities; Native counsellor training programmes provide immersion courses in Native culture and history, together with sound counselling techniques; material relevant to the Native students' background be incorporated in reading texts; Native resource people be hired to revise Native language dictionaries and textbooks; treaty Indian commuting students receive financial assistance equivalent to that provided boarding students; Native students design their own recreation programmes.
