1ERIC ED473210: The Relationship Between Academic And Practical Intelligence: A Case Study Of The Tacit Knowledge Of Native American Yup'ik People In Alaska.
By ERIC
A growing body of empirical data suggests that there may be a true psychological distinction between academic and practical intelligence. If there is, then conventional ability tests used alone may reveal substantially less than we want to know about people's competence in everyday practical situations. Evidence to this effect is reviewed from mainstream U.S. culture and from Brazil, Morocco, Kenya, and Russia. A study of 261 Yup'ik Eskimo children in grades 9-12 assessed the importance of academic and practical intelligence in rural and urban Alaskan communities. Academic intelligence was measured with conventional measures of fluid and crystallized intelligence. Practical intelligence was measured with a homemade test of tacit knowledge relevant to the environment in which most Yup'ik people live. The test measured tacit knowledge in five content areas: herbs, fishing and fish preparation, survival, folklore, and hunting. Adults and peers rated the children in terms of being a good thinker who could survive and in terms of being a great hunter. Urban children generally outperformed rural children on a measure of crystallized intelligence, but the rural children performed better on the measure of Yup'ik tacit knowledge. The test of tacit knowledge was superior to the tests of academic intelligence in predicting practical skills of rural children. (Contains 54 references.) (Author/SV)

Without Objection, It Is So Ordered. (Moment Of Silence.) Mr. SCHUMER. Mr. President, I Ask Unanimous Consent That The Senate Proceed To The Immediate Consideration Of S.

Ted's Dedication To His Nation Began With His Valiant Service In World War II And Endured Through Six Decades Of Public Service. Ted Helped Secure Statehood For His Beloved Alaska And Never Stopped Fighting For The People Of The Pioneer State For Over 40 Years As Its Senior Senator. Our Thoughts Are With Ted's Wife Catherine And The Entire Stevens Family And All Of Those Who Lost Their Lives And Were Injured In This Week's Sad Accident. Mr. President, I Want To Personally Add The Thoughts Of Senator Reid. I Spoke With Him Last Night. We Spoke About Senator Stevens And Remembered Him Fondly.

From His Early Military Service As A Pilot In World War II, To His Involvement In The Statehood Of The Last Frontier, To His Fierce Support And Defense Of Our Nation's Military, Ted Stevens Was Always There, Fighting For What He Believed In, And Usually Winning. He Was A Force To Be Reckoned With, And We Will Miss Him Greatly.

Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the Senate observe a moment of silence in memory of our former colleague, the late Senator from Alaska, Ted Stevens. The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. Without objection, it is so ordered. (Moment of silence.) Mr. SCHUMER. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the Senate proceed to the immediate consideration of S. Res. 617, submitted earlier today. The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. Without objection, the clerk will report the resolution by title. The legislative clerk read as follows: A resolution (S. Res. 617) relative to the death of the Honorable Theodore ''Ted'' Fulton Stevens, former Senator for the State of Alaska. There being no objection, the Senate proceeded to consider the resolution. Mr. SCHUMER. Mr. President, I would like to take this opportunity, and I think I speak on behalf of all of our colleagues, certainly in sentiment if not my exact words, about our friend and former colleague, Ted Stevens. On Tuesday we were all deeply saddened to learn about his tragic passing. Ted's dedication to his Nation began with his valiant service in World War II and endured through six decades of public service. Ted helped secure statehood for his beloved Alaska and never stopped fighting for the people of the Pioneer State for over 40 years as its senior Senator. Our thoughts are with Ted's wife Catherine and the entire Stevens family and all of those who lost their lives and were injured in this week's sad accident. Mr. President, I want to personally add the thoughts of Senator Reid. I spoke with him last night. We spoke about Senator Stevens and remembered him fondly. Senator Reid particularly noted to me one of his prize possessions was a Hulk tie that Senator Stevens had given him, and he proudly still has it with him. Mr. McCONNELL. Mr. President, in the history of our country, no one man has done more for one State than Ted Stevens. His commitment to the people of Alaska and his Nation spanned decades, and he left a lasting mark on both. From his early military service as a pilot in World War II, to his involvement in the statehood of the Last Frontier, to his fierce support and defense of our Nation's military, Ted Stevens was always there, fighting for what he believed in, and usually winning. He was a force to be reckoned with, and we will miss him greatly. We extend our deepest sympathies to Catherine and the entire Stevens family, and to the families of the friends who were lost in this terrible accident. Mr. SCHUMER. I ask unanimous consent that the resolution be agreed to, the preamble be agreed to, the motions to reconsider be laid on the table en bloc, and that any statements relating to the resolution be printed in the Record. The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. Without objection, it is so ordered. The resolution (S. Res. 617) was agreed to. The preamble was agreed to. The resolution, with its preamble, reads as follows: S.

7ERIC ED343757: Responsibilities And Roles Of Governments And Native People In The Education Of American Indians And Alaska Natives.
By ERIC
This paper traces the development of the government-to-government relationship between the United States and Native peoples and examines the implications of that relationship for Native American education. In 1532, Francisco de Vitoria refuted the Doctrine of Discovery and laid out four principles to guide Spanish governmental relations with Native peoples. Colonial powers and, later, the United States recognized the sovereignty of Native nations by entering into over 800 treaties with them. A 1794 treaty was the first to contain provisions for Indian education. In 1871 Congress ended treaty-making with Native governments, essentially legalizing Native assimilation and land annexation. The Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) controlled all aspects of Native education and government. In 1934, in response to criticisms in the Meriam Report, Congress reaffirmed tribal self-government and provided financial inducements to states to enroll Natives in public schools. Following efforts in the 1950s to terminate the government-to-government relationship, the Federal Government in the 1960s reaffirmed its support for Native self-determination and tribally controlled education. The present trend of shifting responsibility for Native education from BIA and tribal schools to public schools has resulted in a real loss of Native control. Contemporary roles in Native education are described for various federal agencies, tribal governments, Native communities, and state governments. Recent Supreme Court decisions concerning the rights and jurisdiction of tribal governments are outlined. This paper contains 26 references and cites 46 court cases and 30 statutes. (SV)

8ERIC ED029736: A Study Of Problems In Education Of The Native People Of Alaska.
By ERIC
There is a need to ascertian ways and means whereby improvements may be initiated in present and future educational programs for the Native people of Alaska. The present situation indicates that because of the dropout rate from secondary schools and the low academic success of those in college, educators in Alaska have failed to cope with the problems of linguistics and culture of the Alaskan Native. Regional high schools which meet the needs of the rural people of Alaska seem to be an answer to the geographic problem. Other steps toward solution include: (1) establishing Head Start classes; (2) having local people teach at the pre-school level; (3) continuing teacher-aid training program as well as teachers' assistants and teachers' associates; (4) changing the educational curriculum to meet the needs of the village children; and (5) involving Native leaders in the conception of an over-all educational plan for rural Alaska. By improving the education system, the economic and industrial situations will also develop. A brief review of the history of education in Alaska, dating from the Russian occupation to the present is contained. (CM)

By Holman, Robert C., Hennessy, Thomas W., Haberling, Dana L., Callinan, Laura S., Singleton, Rosalyn J., Redd, John T., Steiner, Claudia A. and Bruce, Michael G.
This article is from International Journal of Circumpolar Health , volume 72 .

The ID hospitalisation rate for AN people increased from 2001 to 2009 (17%, p
