Dear Interested Citizen:

The Municipal SAFE City Program works with the community to address sexual assault, domestic violence, child abuse and neglect, homelessness, emergency alcohol services for the public inebriates, perinatal addiction, and urban Alaska Native issues. Over this past year, this program in collaboration with the Anchorage Native Concerns Committee has been working on several issues related to the status and well-being of urban Natives. One issue in particular, violence against Alaska Native women has compelled this program to work with professionals and citizens to systematically evaluate how to curb the violence.

This report is a blend of professional expertise, service provider perspective, personal experiences of eleven Alaska Native women, and private citizen concerns. More than a document, this report offers a starting point to initiate community action. Because the recommendations in this report were agreed upon within a short space of time, it appears that our community knows what action to take. We only have to take it.

Sincerely,

Carrie D. Longoria M.P.A.
Manager
SAFE City Program

"Young students of Polynesian-Hawaiian ancestry, from underprivileged backgrounds, often progress very poorly in learning to read. In our work at the Kamechameha Elementary Education Program (KEEP) in Honolulu, we set out to discover why this was so."

Excerpt:
"Difference may be a good teacher, but it isn't one whose presence has always received an enthusiastic welcome in American classrooms. Throughout most of the last two centuries, in fact, American educators have expended a good deal of energy trying to eliminate it, often with the best of intentions."

Excerpt:
"Fortunate is the person who discovers an active interest in history early in life! The field is so far-reaching that it takes a lifetime to become proficient in any specific area. My interest in writing Alaska's history came late in life, hence my untiring efforts to make up for lost time."

Excerpt:

Rural Alaskan communities have developed methods of resolving disputes locally that may benefit the state's justice system as well as the communities' residents. The Alaska Judicial Council has evaluated a conciliation organization in Barrow (PACT), the Minto Tribal Court and the Sitka Tribal Court to describe and assess these organizations and the approaches they have taken to rural justice in Alaska...

The report itself includes chapters on the cultural and justice system setting for each community, a brief summary of rural justice needs and alternative dispute resolution in Alaska, the legal context for the functioning of the tribal courts, and detailed evaluations of each organization. A chapter comparing the three organizations, a discussion of interactions with state courts, and a chapter on the conditions needed to replicate the work done by these organizations in other communities complete the report. Appendices to the main report include a more thorough discussion of the evaluation methods, a list of references used in the report, and a memo summarizing the recommendations made at rural justice conferences and the outcomes of these recommendations.

Excerpt:
"Resource development on northern lands has created conflicts between government policies, industrial interests and indigenous peoples over land ownership and local control of decision-making. Native organizations took political and legal action to establish land rights, to obtain greater local control, and to gain recognition of cultural pluralism."

This Resource/ Reading List attempts to indicate the most useful books and other resources to be used by schools, libraries and book stores in selecting Native materials. Priority is given to resources in which Native people have had decision-making involvement. Inquiries can be made to Canadian Alliance in Solidarity With the Native Peoples National Office/P.O.

It is hoped that this paper puts forth a convincing argument supporting the urgent need to restructure Alaska's primary school programs. A secondary purpose is to explain the elements that are part of the restructured primary school's learning program. A third purpose is to point out primary school restructuring models currently under development in Alaska.
