Resumen
This article explores community-determined educational programs for Native American students, highlighting the vital role of access to formal education for Indigenous and oppressed peoples' cultural survival. It discusses the challenges Fourth World populations face in defining and controlling knowledge within mainstream educational systems. The authors argue for empowering Indigenous communities to create and govern their own educational institutions while gaining recognition within existing frameworks. Case studies from The Evergreen State College and the Quinault Nation demonstrate efforts to establish community-controlled liberal arts education programs. These initiatives challenge dominant educational paradigms and emphasize the importance of community empowerment, participatory research, and self-governing relationships in Indigenous education.
