It is intended to be usedas a first- line source of information; i.e., the brief descriptions are meant only to suggest the content and scope of each organization's objectives and services. Effortwas made tc obtain documentation about each entry; however, some have more documentation than others. Readers who have additional information for a future editionare asked to complete the form in the back of the directory (page 93). The organizations listed in this directory reflect the Far West region, and inclusion does not suggest endorsement of any organization by Far West Laboratory. We wishto thank all the people who responded generously with their time and correspondence in providing information for this directory. This is a first edition and is subject to revision. The Directory is the product of a national collaboration among eight of the regional educational laboratories, the Native Education Initiative. Each of the participating laboratories is producing a directory for its region. The development of the directory for the Far West region was also supported by the Rural Schools Assistance Program (Stanley H.L. Chow, Director). The Initiative is sponsoring other products and servicesas well, as part of its principal goal of improving educational services to Native students. For further information about the Initiative, call Elise Trumbull Estrin or Sharon Nelson-Barber at 415- 565-3000. Far West Laboratory for Educational Research and Development (FWL) isone of 10 original laboratories created by Congress in 1966.
