On Indian Ground

On Indian Ground: California is the first in a series of ten books on American Indian/Alaska Native/Native Hawaiian education.  The focus of this text is the 110 tribes in California and the best practices available to educators of native students in K-16. 

This volume explores the history of California Indian education as well as current policies on early childhood education, gifted education, curriculum, counseling, funding, and research.  The chapters provide a unique look at crosscutting themes, such as sustainability, economic development, health and wellness, and historical trauma and bias.
