The American Indian Education KnowledgeBase : Element 4 : Activity 3 : Task 2: Be Familiar with American Indian Charter Schools

Guideline: Tribes and American Indian organizations are opening charter schools to better serve American Indian students, many of whom have not done well historically in Bureau of Indian Affairs and public schools. These charter schools often emphasize teaching tribal languages and cultures, as well as mathematics, science, and other academic school subjects.

Venegas, National Indian Education Association, High School Policy Initiative. The Mid Continent Comprehensive Center has not reviewed these schools nor endorses their programming.

This resource provides a compilation of academic dissertations addressing issues associated with charter schools and native American students. This list was compiled by Kerry R. Venegas, National Indian Education Association, High School Policy Initiative.
