Product Description
Oscar Kawagley is a man of two worlds, walking the sometimes bewildering line between traditional Yupiaq culture and the Westernized Yupiaq life of today. In this study, Kawagley follows both memories of his Yupiaq grandmother, who raised him with the stories of the Bear Woman and respectful knowledge of the reciprocity of nature, and his own education in science as it is taught in Western schools. Kawagley is a man who hears the elders' voices in Alaska, knows how to look for the weather, and to use the land and its creatures with the most delicate care. In a call to unite the two parts of his own and modern Yupiaq history, Kawagley proposes a way of teaching that incorporates all ways of knowing available in Yupiaq and Western science. He has traveled a long journey, but it ends where it began, in a fishing camp in southwestern Alaska, a home for his heart and spirit. The second edition examines changes that have impacted the Yupiaq and other Alaska native communities over the last ten years, including implementation of cultural standards in indigenous education and the emergence of a holistic approach in the sciences. ...

Product Description
"Through an in-depth study of Alaskan indigenous communities, Jennings explores the relationship between land and education. He reveals how Euro-American institutions attempt to redefine indigenous understandings of land and spirituality to make them conform to those in the dominant society. The author proposes educational agendas that are components of native sovereignty, with their distinctive spiritual, intellectual, and material relationships to land. This book is valuable for educational policymakers, and instructors in education, anthropology and Native American studies." ... Read more

Product Description
This qualitative case study explored the role human connections played in a distance learning environment in a small program within a small university in Alaska. It explored how administrators, staff members, and distance educators included (or excluded) human relations in their distance classes and curriculum designs. It employed demography surveys, focus groups, and personal interviews to examine the participants' experiences and perceptions and how they constructed successful distance learning environments for their students. The reason for this exploratory case study was to examine factors that contributed to student success in a location where students are often perceived as having low participation and graduation rates in higher education distance learning. The results of the study showed how important a programmatic view is in supporting individuals, programs, and schools who support distance learners. ... Read more
