Description: In 1991, the legislature of the
Menominee Nation voted to establish a tribal college
using part of the tribe’s gaming revenue. The tribe has
many years’ experience in gaming, having built its
casino before many other tribes. The Menominee Nation
is also home to a tribally owned timber industry that has
earned international acclaim for its sustainable forestry
practices. The College prepares students not only for
careers in timber, hospitality and gaming, but also in
natural resources, law enforcement, early childhood
education and general studies. Various vocational
certificates are offered, and health and tribal manage-
ment programs are to be added soon. Working with
Menominee Tribal Enterprises, the college formed the
Forestry Sustained Yield Institute to share the tribe's
belief that trees must be conserved for future genera-
tions. The institute conducts research and sponsors
workshops and seminars for students, visiting scholars,
and environmentalists.

Native studies courses offered: Menominee

cultural values play an important role in every

aspect of the curriculum—even in timber and

preserve individuality and personal warmth. The Native
American Program began in 1969 and has served as 4
model program for other state universities. The program
offers American Indian and Alaska Native students

PREFACE

Compiling directories is unglamourous but useful work we think. We ut the ERIC Clearinghou.e on
Rural Education and Small Schools have produced several editions of this directory now. Each has gotten
larger and handier to use as we have become more experienced in their production. We would like to point
out several features in this new edition:

¢  Wehave organized the sections this time so they are a little easier to browse—especially in the first
two sections, which describe national nongovernment organizations and federal government
programs respectively.

We have done much more indexing, and this time we have listed page numbers instead of section
numbers. We did some subject indexing, but mostly, entries are indexed by state or organizational
names,

Regarding subject indexing—let us point out one subject we were especially pleased to shed light
on: The study of American Indian and Alaska Native languages. If you look in the index under
"Native language programs or courses ," you will find an astonishingly long list of Native languages
that are being taught at colleges and universities across North America. We do not claim this list
is complete, bu. it is a good beginning and we hope to find more programs as times goes by.

Section 5 of this directory was developed with high school counselors and teachers in mind. We
‘wrote to more than 400 colleges and universities who enroll substantial numbers of Native students
and asked them what Native studies and laguage courses they offered. We also asked what sorts
of support services and scholarship monies they provided to American Indian and Alaska Native
students. Section 5 reflects what they told us.

Finally, in developing this directory, we had to make choices about what to include. To keep the
directory down to a size that would be affordable to mc st school and library budgets, we decided not
to duplicate other existing directories that publish information at the tribal or municipal level. We
have kept the focus, as much as possible, on multicounty, or larger areas. However, at the end of
section 3, we have included sources—some of them frec—for tribal and other directories. And, of
course, we have published information only about organizations that have s2mething to offer your
efforts as educators, parents, and vocational trainers

We have published what people have told us about their organizations. We have no way of checking the
accuracy of the information they have provided about themselves, so nothing in this directory should be read
as an endorsement by the Clearinghouse or the U.S. Department of Education. The contents of the directory:
reflect a rich array of activity—organizing, leading, administering, governing, publishing, broadcasting, and
educating. [Ifyou are involved with a group that you think should be described in the next edition, fill out the
form at the end of this directory and send it back to us.

1 would like to thank all of those who responded to our letters, faxes, and telephone calls. Heather
Beasley, a student intern from Harvard University, spent her summer doing most of the research for this
effort. Three reviewers, Robin A. Butterfield, D. Michael Pavel, and Bob Swan, provided critical comments
that greatly improved the final version, | owe thanks also to Velma Mitchell, Cindy Dawson, Mary Farley,
and Berma Lanham, who helped proofread, make telephone calls, edit, and do all the other exacting work
required in making sure everything in these pages is both readable and accurate. | thank all of them for their
excellent work and dedication. --PCH

perpetuating social and structural inequities based on race,
class, income, gender, language, culture, and disability. To
accomplish its mission, FairTest promotes assessment of
students, workers, and others that is far, open, accurate,
relevant, accountable, and educationally sound, and works to
end the abuses, misuses, and flaws of standardized testing. ‘To
