Item Asking for survival : the environmental implications of cultural revitalization on the Fort Belknap Reservation(Montana State University - Bozeman, College of Letters & Science, 1992) Strahn, DerekItem The Urban Indian community of Minneapolis, Minnesota : an analysis of educational achievements, housing conditions, and health care from the relocation of 1952 to today(Montana State University - Bozeman, College of Letters & Science, 2004) Zimmerman, Leslie Ann; Chairperson, Graduate Committee: Alexandra New HolyThis thesis critically evaluates the improvements in educational achievements, housing conditions, and health care needs for the urban Indian population of Minneapolis, Minnesota. I specifically focus on the Relocation Policy and how that Policy, instead of assimilating American Indians into mainstream society, became a vehicle for elevating the population of American Indians in Minneapolis to a level of “visibility.” As well, I discuss how this once “invisible” urban community formed an urban coalition, the American Indian Movement (AIM), to actively seek social justices in education, housing, and health care for the urban Indian population of Minneapolis, Minnesota. The intent of the research is to determine whether the extensive funding and programs directed toward the urban Indian population of Minneapolis throughout the last four decades have brought about significant improvements; to determine the degree of, and changes in educational achievements, housing conditions, and health needs of the urban Indian population of Minneapolis, Minnesota. This project is the first evaluation of whether conditions within the urban Indian community of Minneapolis have improved since Relocation. I think this project was needed to critically evaluate a metro area like Minneapolis that has such an extensive history of programs and funding for the urban Indian population.Item Tribal education : a case study of Northern Cheyenne elders(Montana State University - Bozeman, College of Education, Health & Human Development, 1994) Rowland, Franklin ClayItem Tribal education : a case study of Blackfeet elders(Montana State University - Bozeman, College of Education, Health & Human Development, 1997) Still Smoking, Dorothy M.Item The Montana study : idealistic failure or innovative success(Montana State University - Bozeman, College of Education, Health & Human Development, 1991) Counter, Janice ElaineItem Native American family systems : applications of the circumplex model of families(Montana State University - Bozeman, College of Education, Health & Human Development, 1998) Griffith, Amy L.Item Ashaammaliaxxia', the Apsalooke Clan System : a foundation for learning(Montana State University - Bozeman, College of Education, Health & Human Development, 1997) Real Bird, LannyThis thesis is a study about Ashaammaliaxxia, the Apsaalooke clan system and how it serves as the foundation of learning among the Crow. Though the cultural activities take place in the informal setting of daily living, they represent the formal learning process for the Apsaalooke. The information about the function and structure of the Crow clan system is extremely thorough. The author also provides some background of the Crow culture in order to present other interrelated customs, practices, and religions because they are integrated with the clan system. Some of the conclusions are: the clan system and ceremonial preparations are important to the Crow learning process, the Crow view kinship and relationships as wealth, and the meaning of being an Apsaalooke is based on natural phenomena in the cosmos.
