- Summary:
-
The Alaska Federation of Natives, in cooperation with the University of Alaska, received funding to implement the Alaska Rural Systemic Initiative (AKRSI). Over a 5-year period (1995-2000), AKRSI initiatives are systematically documenting the indigenous knowledge systems of Alaska Native people and developing educational policies and practices that effectively integrate indigenous and Western knowledge. Program emphasis is on renewing Native pathways to education so that traditional knowledge systems, ways of knowing, and world views may be used as a foundation for learning all subject matter. Elders' councils and the Alaska Native/Rural Education Consortium provide overall guidance for AKRSI. Resources are being assembled in each of Alaska's five cultural regions (Yup'ik, Inupiaq, Athabascan, Aleut/Alutiiq, and Southeast regions) and entered into a curriculum resource collection maintained through the Alaska Native Knowledge Network and listed on the World Wide Web. AKRSI initiatives include this curriculum clearinghouse, cultural documentation by students in rural schools, development of Alaska standards for culturally responsive schools, development of village-oriented science resources, formation of Native educator associations in each cultural region, development of pedagogical processes based on Native ways of knowing, elders' academies, Native science fairs, math/science unit-building workshops, performance standards for math and science, and the Alaska Native Science Education Coalition. Charts outline the sequence of initiatives in each region. Includes contact information for program directors and regional coordinators. (SV)
