Description
Looks at the reasons for displacement in Alaska and why the Bureau of Education's efforts included an emphasis on
preparing the local inhabitants for a more urban society, one in which some degree of assimilation and integration would be inevitable.
Identifies resources, practices and instructional methods that would support Aboriginal students in the Intermediate-Advanced English as a Second Language Program (ESL) at Mount Royal Collegiate in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan.
