Peter and Marie,
Functions of Language in the Classroom was originally published by Teachers
College Press, 1972, New York. There are three chapters on
Native-Americans in the book. A number of empirical studies on this subject
were also summarized in the LCHC Newsletter, July 1984, 6, no.3.by myself.
I also recommend Cole and Scribner, Culture and Thought; Wax, Diamond,
and Gearing's Anthropological Perspectives on Education;my recent
cognitive pluralism article with studies on Native American childrens'
story retelling. Please let me know if you need more references, including
work in Hawaii by Tharp and co-workers.
