Alaskan Eskimo Education:
A Film Analysis of Cultural
Confrontation in the Schools
5/The classrooms on
film
The films themselves hold the drama of
the Eskimo classroom. Methodologically we had distilled our impressions
directly from film, analyzing frame for frame in many cases. What
was on film was thus transferred to two hundred data sheets and coded
statistically on key sort cards. But in the summary report that follows,
describing the style and circumstances of each Eskimo classroom,
film again becomes vitality and frees me to write both factually
and empirically, drawing together in one picture many months of analysis.
Tuluksak, an Isolated BIA School
Kwethluk, a Progressive Village
The Alaska State School in Bethel
The Public Schools of Anchorage
