My immediate response to this would be the American Indian Science and
Engineering Society in Boulder, Colorado. I am meeting with the executive
director, Norbert Hill on February 6th.
Please contact Norbert or their funding representative at (303) 492-8658.
If I can be of any help with this, please let me know!

I have several friends and relatives who were part of the Native Americans at
Dartmouth program and cannot speak highly enough about it. I cannt tell you
much about the specifics of the program but I know that the students are
encouragedto maintain close connections with their tribes and there are many
cultural events for them at the school. They also have the opportunity to stay
in the N.A.D. house with other Native American students if they so choose. You
can contact Lenore O'Jibway in the Development office. She can be reached at
her e-mail address of: Lenore O'Jibway@Dartmouth.edu. I am sure she would be
more than grateful to explain the benefits of their program to you. Thanks.

[ I think you're going to have problems with the address given here for Lenore,
because it contains both a space and a quote. I would suggest you try some-
thing like "Lenore_O'Jibway@Dartmouth.edu" (including the quotes), but even
that address may not work. --Gary ]

An obvious option is the Native American College Fund, which supports the
tribal colleges and students. The need is certainly there. Another option
might be to support a national database, which i think NIEA has started, to
develop culturally and linguistically appropriate curricula and materials
that would be available to all teachers of native students. A third option
is to donate money for the educational network that Gary said exists but is
currently non-functional. How many tribal schools and colleges have no
means for engaging in this sort of communication? Acquisition of any sort
of initial set-up is expensive.
I'm sure you're already probably swamped but it does seem that getting a
better communications network operational would be widely beneficial.
[ I like Dorothy's suggestion to consider applying for some of this funding
to support the Native Schools project that Mark Dewart and I have been
working on developing for some time. If anyone else is interested in
helping with the project, or just finding out more about it, please get
in touch with us. (My address, as you know, is "gst@gnosys.svle.ma.us" -
Mark's is "dewart@butleru.bitnet")

The American Sociological Association Minority Fellowship Program
would be pleased to coordinate the funding of an American Indian
student in the field of sociology.
There are a number of groups who can help. Is your donor interested
in funding a student from a particular tribe, region, or academic
discipline?
