The original document was a companion piece to the 1993 Native Education Directory: Organizations and Resources for Educators of Native Peoples of the United States and Territories. The revised version coincides with the recent release of a new national directory, 1998 Native Education Directory: Organizations and Resources for Native Americans. It has also been expanded to include listings of Head Start, Child Care, Title IX programs and Johnson O'Malley contractors in Arizona, California, Utah, and Nevada. This Directory is intended to be a catalyst for the exchange of first-hand information among individual users and listed organizations. The brief descriptions are meant only to suggest the content and scope of each organization's objectives and services. Effort has been made to obtain information about each entry, although some have more docu- mentation than others. The organizations listed in this directory reflect the four states in the West Ed region. Inclusion does not suggest en- dorsement of any organization by West Ed. The Directory was initially the product of a national collabora- tion among eight of the regional educational laboratories, the Native Education Initiative. Each of the participating laboratories produced a directory for its region. The directory for the West Ed region was also supported by the Rural Schools Assistance Program. Currently West Ed has independently taken the initiative to update and expand this direc- tory, as part of its Indigenous Education Collaborative (IEC). For further INTRODUCTION TO THE DIRECTORY I information about the Collaborative, call Sharon Nelson-Barber, Elise Trumbull, or Floyd Beller at 415-565-3000. West Ed (formerly, Far West Laboratory for Educational Research and Development) is one of 10 Regional Education Laborato- ries established by Congress in 1966. Today, the laboratories' enduring mission is to improve the quality of education by helping policymakers and practitioners apply the best available knowledge from research, development, and practice. As noted above, West Ed serves the four Western Region states: Arizona, California, Nevada, and Utah. As a nonprofit agency,
