Questions of import to the struggle of Indians to achieve autonomy over their educational institutions vary in scope and complexity. In this struggle, dormitory aides do not ostensibly occupy a key position. Yet historically the dormitory aide has been the one role assigned almost exclusively to Indians. It is important, therefore, to understand the experience Indians have in this role. In this paper participant-observation and sociopsychological test data are used to examine role stress among dormitory aides in an off-reservation Bureau of Indian Affairs boarding school. The data indicate there is serious stress, a function of a number of factors including institutional leadership and organization, the sociocultural background of aides, and various interaction effects
