This book provides all the tools necessary for college educators and administrators to develop top-notch programs, including: • Diagnostic tests to determine students’ level of knowledge • Defined learning goals and objectives • Seminar descriptions • Established grading criteria • Useful outside resources Six courses make up the interdisciplinary curriculum: The North American Indian, American Indian History, American Indian Law and Federal Policy, American Indian Religion and Philosophy, American Indian Literature, and the History of American Indian Education. The American Indian Studies Program Guide offers a proven approach and insights into the problems American Indians have faced in the past and the battles they continue to fight today.
