| Abstract:
The articulation of the Decolonizing Evaluation Framework and the Guidelines for Culturally Healthy and Responsive Learning Environments may be viewed as tools for describing and identifying key elements of successful indigenous community-based projects. A community-based early childhood needs assessment in Hawaiian communities and a pre-service teacher recruitment and education program will be discussed in terms of common characteristics that align with the framework and guidelines. This session will focus on the opportunities for clarity as well as the dilemmas resulting from blending perspectives of a holistic cultural nature with Western methods of qualitative analysis. Roundtable participants will be encouraged to engage in dialogue around these issues.

| Abstract:
Tribal colleges are a main resource for (1) preserving Native Americans' heritage and (2) preparing individuals for success. Indeed education is the very key to achieving these goals; and such is the mission of tribal colleges.
This roundtable examines how students of tribal colleges, struggling with reading, writing, math and study skills in particular, are assisted through online help on their college's website. A detailed analysis of these websites will be presented. A comparative approach will encourage discussion and cross-utilization of resources.
