From the Paper:
"The Cherokee Nation is a role model of self-sufficiency among Native American tribes. The Cherokee, recognized as a sovereign nation by the United States government, number about 175,000 full- and mixed-blood individuals, with the majority located in northeastern Oklahoma. The Oklahoma Cherokee successfully administer their own affairs. Programs such as Head Start, Job Corps, public housing, and substance abuse clinics have been supervised by the Cherokee Nation since the 1970s. In Cherokee-run schools, the basic curriculum is supplemented by instruction in tribal history, language, and culture. The Cherokee are attempting to obliterate the devastating effects of decades of federal government Indian education policy, which emphasized the assimilation of Native Americans into the dominant white culture."More papers on Native American Education:
