<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Any Jewelry, post: 468804, member: 2844&quot;]In the past I have donated to a few NA immersion schools, where children are taught in their native language and learn more about their culture, traditional crafts, music dance, story-telling, etc.</p><p>The students not only find their identity, but also do better academically (mainstream) than Native children taught in English-only schools. They are also much less likely to get involved in substance abuse, etc. simply because they have pride of culture and a better self-image.</p><p>Some immersion schools are total immersion, native language only, and some are dual immersion.</p><p>As far as I know Zuni currently only has an immersion pre-school, the Zuni Head Start program. It is not a program I have donated to, so I know nothing about it. And since immersion schools are often started privately by concerned and involved parents and educators, there could be a good project I don&#039;t know about.</p><p>Maybe worth looking into?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
