Some Instructional Strategies for the Cross-Cultural Classroom
Judith Kleinfield
Based on questionnaire data, 64% (114 respondents) return from all teachers in small village schools operated by the State of Alaska and the Bureau of Indian Affairs, This paper describes instructional strategies for new teachers entering the Alaskan cross-cultural community classroom. The paper also suggests how the instructional methods harmonize with village students' learning styles in regard to (1) personalism (experiment with ways to harmonize personal teaching style with students* learning styles) (2) competitiveness (devise teaching methods to cope with passive students), (3) joking (use this native method of correction in a two-sided manner), (4) project-reward work rhythm (assign concentrated work followed by material rewards and relaxation), (5) observational learning (use image-based instruction), (6) village-based anchoring ideas (relate instructional material to students' village experiences), and (7) parental involvement (inform parents as to the school's why's and how's). The appendix shows a copy of the questionnaire sent at the end of the 1969-70 school year. (MJB

Alaska Native Population Trends and Vital Statistics, 1950-1985
George W. Rogers
The original version of this analysis of Alaska Native population was made in 1964 at the request of the then area director of the Bureau of Indian Affairs, Robert L. Bennett, for guides in discussing bureau goals in relation to the new Economic Opportunity Act. The purposes were to provide a basis for estimating the current (1964) Native population by areas to identify and measure the underlying dynamics of the population change, and to make projections by areas in the year 2000 that could be related to projections of anticipated new employment and relocation requirements. The resulting analysis was updated and appeared in revised form in December 1967 as a part of a broader analysis of economic and social guidelines for the Washington·Alaska Regional Medical Program. The present version was produced not in response to such specific requests, but because of the need for a new look at Alaska's Native population and its future.
