Excerpt:

"TO LIVE ON THIS EARTH is a major study of the education of American Indians, an area where virtually no research on a nationwide basis has been done since the late 1920s. Examined here is every facet of American Indian education - students, teachers, parents, community leaders and educators reveal their views both in terms of what now exists and plans for the future. Education for Indian youth across the nation varies strikingly according to numerous factors such as sources of funding for the schools, location, curriculum, faculty, degree of isolation from other communities and cultural differences. All aspects of these complex factors are presented here in the clearest picture yet of American Indian education today; how Native Americans are living and being educated, and what they think of the process."
