Beatrice Medicine and the Anthropology of Education
Over a 50-year professional career, Dr. Beatrice Medicine never failed to assert the importance of Indigenous language rights or to challenge racism in the academy, public schools, and society. She urged educational anthropologists to confront racism in our research with Indigenous peoples. She challenged linguicism and urged the teaching of Native American languages in schools. Bea Medicine's legacy provides a compelling vision for the future of…
Cultural Identity, Explanatory Style, and Depression in Navajo Adolescents
This study investigated the interrelationships among cultural identity, explanatory style, and depression in Navajo adolescents. A total of 332 (197 female, 135 male) Navajo adolescents completed 7 self-report measures. These data were used to create, via structural equation modeling, a series of factor models and full structural models. Analyses indicated that current factor structures for explanatory style and depression are adequate for use wi…
Introduction
The realities of Indian belief and existence have become so misunderstood and distorted at this point that when a real Indian stands up and speaks the truth at any given moment, he or she is not only unlikely to be believed, but will probably be contradicted and "corrected" by the citation of some non-Indian and totally inaccurate "expert." More, young Indians in universities are now being trained to see themselves and their cultures in terms pre…

Critical Race Theory and Ethnographies Challenging the Stereotypes
In this article, Villenas and Deyhle use the lens of Critical Race Theory (CRT) to examine Latino schooling and family education as portrayed in seven recent ethnographic studies. They argue that CRT provides a powerful tool to understand how the subordination and marginalization of people of color is created and maintained in the United States. The ethnographic studies of Latino education are filled with the stories and voices of Latino parents …
From Break Dancing to Heavy Metal
This article is about a small group of Navajo youth and the messages they expressed through both break dancing and heavy metal. Their break-dancing performances spoke loudly against racial discrimination in their community and echoed the hope of achieving equity. Over their years in high school, they traded the optimistically rebellious music of break dancing for the somewhat fatalistic complaint music of heavy metal. The construction of these yo…
Navajo Youth and Anglo Racism
In this article, Donna Deyhle presents the results of a decade-long ethnographic study of the lives, both in and out of school, of Navajo youth in a border reservation community. She describes the racial and cultural struggle between Navajos and Anglos and the manifestation of that struggle in schools and the workplace. While utilizing these theories' central insights, but then moves beyond them. While differences in culture play a role in the di…
Navajo Mothers and Daughters
Navajo women's historically problematic relation to public schools might be best understood by considering the role that matrilineal networks play in giving Navajo women a place of respect as mothers and daughters—a life course to which schools contribute little. Navajo women's commitment to cooperative family relations is sharply at odds with contemporary educational practice and much educational thought, which assumes the desirability of an ind…
Cultural differences in child development
Many years ago, Margaret Mead went to Samoa at the urging of her professor, Franz Boas, to test the universality of a widely held belief about human development: that sexual maturation in adolescence produced a period of sturm und drang, of stress, anxiety, and emotional upheaval. Her analysis of the lives of teenagers in Samoa and other Pacific Island societies (Mead, 1928, 1930) indicated that, at least in some cultures, coming of age is not fr…
Empowerment and cultural conflict
This article is about contemporary Navajo parents caught between the traditional Navajo world of their elders and the dominant world of their Anglo neighbors. Ethnohistorical and current sociocultural factors influencing the attitudes of Navajo parents toward their children's schools are viewed in light of current arguments suggesting that one means of changing the school failure rates of some minority groups is through parent and student “empowe…

Styles of learning and learning of styles
This article presents a review of the literature about American Indian/Alaskan Native learning styles and related teaching styles. The topic of learning styles has recently emerged as a consideration for understanding the problems American Indian/Alaskan Native students are experiencing as they enter and leave formal educational programmes. The premise upon which the learning styles explanation is based suggests that culture plays an important pa…
Success and Failure
The perceptions, attitudes, and understandings of Anglo students about school achievement tests stand in sharp contrast to those of Navajo students. How then do Anglo and Navajo students perceive testing in their classrooms and how does it affect their feelings and performance there? A comparison of these groups found a dichotomy between them with respect to their acceptance of testing and understanding of its importance and purpose. That a publi…
Break Dancing and Breaking Out
This study presents an analysis of one event-break dancing-in an ongoing three-year study of social identification and interactions between Ute, Navajo, and Anglo students, their communities, and their high school. It presents one social group or clique, break dancers, in a larger, intertwined set of social interactions in the school and community. In response to continual academic failure and social isolation, these Indian students turn to break…
Between Games and Failure
Students and teachers live together in classrooms where testing is a frequent and often traumatic occurrence. Studies (Coleman, 1966; Levine, 1976; Rohwer, 1971) show that minority students consistently score lower on tests than students from the dominant socio-cultural group in American society. This study was an ethnographic investigation of tests and testtaking among Navajo students in a Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) day school. Its purpose w…
