Abstract
This paper not only examines the problems faced
by one Native American student at her school, but also
the unique problems faced by her school teachers and
administrators. It should be noted that the issues
discussed here are considered delicate and that I was
warned off the topics within because of the extreme
amount of publicity in the local media that have
been fueling the fire. Also, it should be noted that
the teachers have been accused of discriminatory
practices by the local media and the Tribal Administration.
I did not observe this to be true, but rather, noticed an
extreme care to not place themselves in any situation that
might be misconstrued as such. I am grateful I to the
teachers, administrators, and students who were willing
to discuss the issues within, despite the atmosphere
prevailing.
