Trad.+Natv.+Am.+Phi.+report+on+NACA+community

This was a sit that I was creating for my Traditions of Native American Philosophy. Two other students and I were reporting on NACA for the coarse. I was proposing using a WIKI to help in the planning and presentation, I had been inspired by my MSET course with Dr. Dooly.

The following video was my first attempt to intro an interactive web experience with the NACA students. In the end NACA Tech coordinator put a Kabosh on the idea because of internet safety issues. I think the camera that I was using was one that I had bought at Big Lots, sort of a funky gizmo. ( there is also video clip somehow inserted in the middle, it was from Cub Scout camp where they were challenged to build a cardboard boat. It was shot with the Canon my Parents had bought me for Christmas :) media type="file" key="First try at this NACA Intro_0002.wmv" width="300" height="300" This is a trust fall that I did at the same camp on our high and low ropes course...I think I added it just to try our what I could do with this wiki. media type="file" key="trust fall.wmv" width="300" height="300"

Our current summary of focus is:
 A community connection within the NACA (Native American Community Academy).

 Our research question: How does NACA support the Native American community?

Some great guiding questions:
...how does NACA differ from other community charter schools in their public education mission to serve the Native American population of the albq area?

Is NACA's multicultural approach evident in their curriculum and programs?

Or is [it only] the result of from community partnerships, that support [fund? organize?] outreach for Native American youth, [which result in] access to a unique public education experience for the Native community?
