IAP BOOK SERIES

On Indian Ground: A Return to Indigenous Knowledge-Generating Hope, Leadership and Sovereignty through Education

SERIES-This series is devoted to the recent developments, research, and practice of American Indian/Alaska Native/Native Hawaiian education. It sees to illustrate recent methods, procedures, and applications designed for educators who work with American Indian/Alaska Native/Native Hawaiian students and seeks to highlight tribal specific interventions by sharing best practices. We especially welcome chapters that combine successful practice with research.

With 566 federally recognized tribes in the United States, we believe that various geographic regions are home to specific practices, policies, and philosophies that highlight our common interests and tribal differences. This series moves away from the historical approach of "American Indian Education" by seeking to highlight successes within diverse tribal nations.
