Several years ago I wrote an essay titled Authentic Research: An Interview on the Way to the Ponderosa, published in Anthropology & Education Quarterly. It was a reflection of my dissertation experience and expressed what I learned about the importance of minority researchers conducting research about the groups of which they are members (Swisher, 1986:185). I also have done several presentations on research in Indian education and expressed my position that Indians ought to be conducting the research and writing about it. Articles by Brown (1980), LaFromboise and Plake (1983), and Robbins and Tippeconnic (1985) express similar concerns. In addition, the recent White House Conference on Indian Education affirmed this belief and recommended through resolution that the United States Department of Education support a range of research by American Indian/Alaska Native scholars who are committed to addressing the needs of American Indian and Alaska Native communities. This essay is a reiteration of my convictions that Indian people should be given more authority in writing about Indian education
