The Oregon Department of Education (ODE) , Indian Education/Civil Rights Program has historically development of materials in cooperation with the Oregon Indian Education Association (OIEA). This has proved effective and I would propose that the success of this proposed project would be enhanced if ODE’s Indian Education coordinator worked with the OIEA to form a committee modeled after their Curriculum Committee.
The following individuals could be contacted to see if they would be interested in helping with this project: |
Dianna Kale |
Twila Souers |
Norrine Smokey-Smith |
Jim Thornton |
Robin Butterfield |
Charles Calica |
Esther Stutzman |
Carol Minugh |
Nickolee Van Noort |
Robey Clark |
Jeff Zucker |
Dawn Smith |
Denise Mason |
Floy Pepper |
Freida Kirk |
Ernie St. Germaine |
Anita Chisholm |
|
In addition, the program should reach out towards teachers. The following is a list of teacher that may be interested in helping with this project:
|
Margaret Cavinaw |
Mary Ellen Showalter |
Lauren A. Usher |
Chrisann Deurwaarder |
Nancy B. Kuney |
Susan Knapp |
If the project advances to the point were we would be applying for Federal Funding, it would be appropriate to reach out community members with this expertise; specifically Floy Pepper, Norrine Smokey-Smith and Robey Clark. |

It is critical for the success of this project that any opinions, findings, conclusions, or recommendations expressed are supported by the OIEA’s Oregon Indian Curriculum Committee.
