A Planning Committee made up of representatives from these associations will serve as the host for the 2002 Native Educators� Conference, to be held in conjunction with the annual Alaska Bilingual/Multicultural Education/Equity Conference. The purpose of the Native Educators� Conference is to provide an opportunity for people engaged in education impacting Native people to come together and learn from each other�s work, and to explore ways to strengthen the links between education and the cultural well-being of indigenous people. 2001 THEME: Nurturing Continuous Growth For the past four years, the metaphor for the theme of the Native Educators� Conference has been a tree. With nurturing from the Elders, we have gone from "weaving the roots" (1998) to "strengthening the branches" (1999) to "bearing the fruits" (2000), and in 2001 to "sharing the harvest."

The significance of sharing the generosity of a tree is reflected in the words of ??? SPECIAL EVENTS: The Native Educators� Conference is being held in conjunction with the annual Alaska Bilingual/Multicultural Education/Equity Conference, which follows on Feb. 6-8. A pre-conference work-session has been scheduled for the afternoon of Sunday, Feb. 3rd, focusing on the "Guidelines for Culturally Responsive School Boards." Draft documents outlining some of the current thinking on criteria for such guidelines will be available for consideration leading to the development and adoption of a set of guidelines for schools and communities throughout Alaska. The remainder of the Native Educators� Conference has been organized into plenary sessions and concurrent presentations to provide an opportunity for presenters to describe the work they are doing and identify issues of mutual concern. Special consideration has been given to issues associated with the documentation of indigenous knowledge systems and the implications of indigenous knowledge, ways of knowing and world views for the way we do education. -- Andr� Cramblit, Operations Director-Northern California Indian Development Council NCIDC (http://www.ncidc.org) is a non-profit that meets the development needs of American Indians and operates an art gallery featuring the art of California tribes (http://www.americanindianonline.com) ============================================================ FREE GUIDE FOR INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY PROS The Monitor Field Guide is packed with information on evaluating, buying and supporting monitors. >>>>> Get Your Copy Here http://click.topica.com/caaafJtb1ddNBb2HgmNf/MonitorsDirect ============================================================ Visit and show your support for the Grass Roots Oyate http://members.tripod.com/GrassRootsOyate Clemency for Leonard Peltier.
