Kalt. The Project's primary goal is "to understand and foster the conditions under which sustained, self-determined social and economic development is achieved among American Indian nations." To accomplish this goal, the Project has sponsored a number of conferences and events, and as also offered advisory services to interested persons and tribal leaders. The "Publications" area is a good way to take a look at the fruits of their labors, as it includes the archives of the Joint Occasional Papers on Native Affairs and a variety of field reports, such as "Renewing Beauty: Options for Navajo Land Management and Decision Making". ********************************************************************* PLEASE ADD YOUR K12 SCHOOL OR SCHOOL DISTRICT TO THE MASTER DIRECTORY OF SCHOOLS ONLINE http://www.edu-cyberpg.com/schools/ The registry is organized by state and by grade level.
