Anyon - Develop those systems to get tribal members at professional levels.
Breternitz - That’s what we are trying to do.
Downum - These things do not happen over night. Have extension programs. Once
some Anglos with degrees will go anywhere for a job. ? tally not Native
Americans. There are federal corps that can offer degrees. System at times too
rigid to handle special needs. Anthropology professors need to be more aware
of individual needs and sensitivities. Group of students who come together and
go through system as a unit. There is strength there. Can’t get job and keep
up confidence. Work harder to create jobs for graduates. Work through
cooperative agreements with federal agencies for funding.
Kintigh - Good with Anyon in getting high school programs. With Gila River had
credit college class (10). Got paid to do program. Help get interest in
college. Undergraduate level more of a program. Real problem is undergraduate
training program and that could be done at community college.
Downum - Shirley Powell’s field school for minorities in archaeology. 15
students. Several went into archaeology.
Ferguson - Pueblo training program for Native Americans to become teachers.
Moved from teacher’s aid to assistants or whole teachers. Some programs work!
Jenkins - MOAs from local programs at U here. Interest in have open for
students - Native Americans or otherwise. Want students who are interested in
working with Hopi Tribe. Management centered around U program but leads to
cultural resource management program. Students get good training and in a
variety of fields. Also take up NEPA projects.
Downum - Lot of federal bureaucracy, but the university one is just as good.
Has some good alternative career choices. Perhaps take degree in environmental
management with minor in anthropology/archaeology. More saleable career!
Jenkins - Environmental opportunities.
Doelle - Good programs like with Utes. Employ Native Americans in Tucson, but
slow down when it comes to writing. Can keep employed at one level. One
situation greatly enhanced when had native employees on board to act as a
liaison and who could work with tribal medicine woman. A real boon to the
project.
Rosenberg - Things have really progressed! So much has happened and will
continue to do so!
Kintigh - Redman got a good sized grant to support Indians in archaeology.
Still funding energy into program and out reach to schools.
