Preface

This is the fifth edition of the Native Education Directory. For this edition, we have
followed the pattern established with our 1997 edition, so if you had a copy of it, this one will
look like familiar terrain to you. This edition of the directory also signifies a first-ever
partnership with the National Indian Education Association (NIEA). We look forward to an
ongoing relationship with NIEA in publishing this and other American Indian and Alaska Native
materials.

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 by the National
Indian Education Association. The contents reflect a rich array of activity in Indian Country:
organizing, leading, researching, administering, governing, publishing, broadcasting, and
educating.

We would like to thank all of those who responded to our letters, faxes, e-mail
requests, and telephone calls. We also owe thanks to Gaytha Jones, Velma Mitchell, Cindy
Dawson, Marilyn Slack, Dawn Pauley, Robert Hagerman, Susan Voelkel, and Carolyn Luzader
for various sorts of help in preparing the manuscript for publication.

An online version of the directory will be maintained and updated as we hear from people
about changes at their organizations. You can access the online directory at the ERIC/CRESS
Web site (http://www.ael.org/eric/ned/index.htm). If you are associated with a group that you
think should be included in the online directory or the next print edition, please visit the Web
site, where you will find a link to an online entry request form. -PCH
