Abstract:

 

As immediate past president of the National Indian Education Association   NIEA-2007-08 , I traveled throughout the country to promote and advance the  educational issues pertinent to Native American students. My tenure as NIEA  president and also professor of education at Northern Arizona University culminated  with an invitation by the Turkish Coalition of America to tour Turkey along with  several other participants, including other Native Americans and African Americans.  The primary purpose of the tour was to promote cross-cultural exchanges between  American Minority Serving institutions of higher learning and Turkey. The tour  provided an opportunity to meet both Turkish and American dignitaries as well as  Turkish university administrators, faculty and students. It is through this cultural  exchange that I was invited to submit an article to the Journal of American Studies of  Turkey highlighting contemporary issues in Native American education.
