Excerpt from Introduction:

This document was developed from a three-day conference held in May 1994 in Boulder, Colorado, sponsored by the American Indian Science and Engineering Society's Research and Evaluation Department under a grant from the National Science Foundation.

The primary goal of this project was to develop a set of recommended guidelines for ensuring that cultural needs and issues are addressed in mathematics, science, and technology educational programs for American Indian/Alaska Native precollege students. Specifically, conference participants focused their discussion the following two questions:

1. What are the major barriers, concerns, and issues that should be addressed in any student, curriculum and teacher preparation project for American Indian/Alaska Native students?

2. What strategies of methods should be employed to ensure that the cultural issues identified are addressed in student, curriculum and teacher preparation projects for American Indian/Alaska Native precollege students?
