Criteria for inclusion into NDN Exemplary status I. A Short History of Exemplary Programs What "Exemplary" Means This directory is about outstanding, well-above-the-norm, superb,magnificent programs in schools which have Indian students as their intended targetaudience.It is about the high success rate which is just starting to emergein Indian Country's schools. The word "exemplary" means basically a thing which is an examplefor others.It is not one of a kind, not unique, but a modelwhich sets the standards for others. That we now have at least 19 such programs is quite an accomplishment forIndian people. Just ten years ago, we had almost no exemplary programs. Some of the other words used with exemplary programs are outstanding,stellar, superlative, pre-eminent, and magnificent.These words describe programs which do not even entertain thoughts of mediocrity. Their heads are in the clouds, their minds areconstantly on excellence, and their expectations are extremely high. These programs, by definition, are in the top five percent of education programsin their outcomes.In most cases, they are in the top one percent.In the U. S. Department of Education, the National Diffusion Network, for example, lists only222 Exemplary education projects in the entire U. S.' Thus the ones listed here may meanIndians are over-represented in the number of Exemplary programs which exist now in IndianCountry. The Exemplary program, almost by definition, achieves its statusby the outcomes it achieves with its students.It is not programs, practices, plans, and professional development. Any one of these elements may be present in a program, in anexemplary way, and the program may not be exemplary. It is only in thework, academic performance, and outcomes for students that Exemplary status is achieved. Students in Exemplary programs have different behaviorsfrom other students. They are eager to attend school. They havehigh rates of attendance, often over 95% for the year. They are eager to learn. They study everyday. They take homework home every day; if they have no homework, they read books at home.They read dozens of books outside the curriculum, in addition to the books assigned to them to read, every year.It is not unusual to find an Exemplary student reading three to four books per week,year-round. Exemplary programs are generally focused on one area,and on that area alone. Four of the ones in this directory are schools which have acomprehensive set of goals and objectives. However, in those four cases, the schools set out to do onething well at first.After that was done well, the school then added another componentin another area, then another, and so on. ' Moore, Raven. "Education Programs ThatWork." Longmont, Co.: Sopris West, 1996. Most of the programs described are now so new that total, comprehensive reform is still a few years ahead. Only two of them started its new direction with total reform as its goal. Most Exemplary programs come from the bottom, apparently, and not from the top. That is, school boards and superintendents can mandate change, can come up with magnificent plans, and can find funds for the programs. This scenario has been followed hundreds of times, in Indian Country and elsewhere. But it seldom works in reality. In contrast, programs which are started from the bottom, by parents, teachers, students, and counselors, can work and work well. This is not to say that the principals and superintendents should not support such programs. They should support them, very strongly. Too often, the person who develops an Exemplary program and nurtures it through to full growth and maturity is fired for his or her excellent work.Thus the system kills its most promising children. Change is dangerous, to the trustees of the system.It does not seem to matter to them if outstanding or poor things are happening in the systems they inherit. School board members and school administrators almost always look upon themselves as the trustees of the schools and all their programs. They often insist that everyone in the system follow their rules. Thus often Exemplary programs are a threat because they do not follow the rules. The rules in Indian Country are that Indian students are not to be

The ensemble cast features new talent including Geoff Breton, Nicholas Shaw and Rasmus Hardiker, alongside established names Sarah Lancashire, Hugo Speer, Mark Williams and Kevin Doyle. Ben, Doug and Philip attend King William’s School, a middle-class institution that’s set to give them a start in life that their parents never had.Aspiring writer Ben lusts after “posh” Cicely Boyd, Doug flies the flag for socialism and prog-rock lover Philip is desperate to start his own band. Ben’s dad Colin is in middle management at Leyland’s Longbridge works, while Doug’s shop-steward father Bill is a dedicated trade union man. Philip’s bus driver dad Sam and housewife mum Barbara seem happy, but does Barbara want more from life? The Rotters’ Club is a tragi-comic blend of the personal and the political, taking in everything from strike action to the delights of first love.A tale not just of individuals but of an entire era, it is enriched by a real sense of life in the Seventies.

Holmes Museum of Anthropology, Paula and Barry Downing and the Asmat and Korowai people who made this possible iv ABSTRACT This thesis demonstrates how factors of technological innovation in filmmaking and anthropological ethical considerations will have an influence over how a particular film will be theorized, created and distributed. The definitions of ethnographic and anthropological film are examined as well as the methods of presenting anthropological information in a film. Technological advances and how they apply to filming, editing and distribution possibilities are also described. The process of creating my own anthropological films about the Asmat and Korowai developed my thesis argument that technology and ethical sensitivities will have a developmental aspect in creating an anthropological film not only in the shooting of footage but the editing of that footage for audience viewing.

  • Amazonian Exchanges: Txema's Lessons with Outboard Engines
    IRSR INTERNATIONAL REVIEW of SOCIAL RESEARCH Volume 2, Issue 1, February 2012, 173-190 International Review of Social Research Amazonian Exchanges: Txema’s Lessons With Outboard Engines, Mosquito Nets and Images Bárbara Maisonnave ARISI• Federal University of Santa Catarina ISCA - Institute of Social and Cultural Anthropology University of Oxford Abstract: This article provides an ethnographic analysis of lessons given by an Amazonian Indian elder called Txema concerning transactions of objects and images. Txema has lived until 1978 in the Amazon as a hunter and farmer in very small communities spread in the forest mainly avoiding conflict with non-indigenous people. The Matis established contact with the Brazilians in 1978 and now Txema deals with British TV crews and researchers. This paper brings detailed information on how Txema transacts many objects like outboard engines and mosquito nets for images and care. Values are discussed in those transactions. Drawing an ethnographic description as the way to achieve reflection, this paper tries to show a close approach to what kind of transformation a lot of industrialized objects provoke in an indigenous community. Material culture exchanges are closely related to values and Txema teaches us what is valuable for this elder Amazonian man. Keywords: value, economy, transaction, Amazon, Pano, Matis. ‘The outboard motor you brought us won’t last long but the images you take will last for ever’, said the tribal chief [Txema Matis] knowingly to Parry, while also making it clear that he and his people were underwhelmed by film crews asking them to go native for the camera.’ (Flett 2007, The Guardian newspaper) The Matis indigenous people live in the had had sporadic relations with non- Terra Indigena Vale do Javari, located in Indigenous outsiders until they made the Amazon forest, the second biggest contact with the Brazilian government indigenous land in Brazil with 8.5 in 1978.
