This news story from 2014 does a good job in helping non-natives understand the underlying issues that impact the quality of life that native youths have to endure and why fixing the current problems in the native education system will be difficult to overcome. I think that this article is important for teachers to read, especially ones from outside of the native community, so that they can understand the pressures that these youths are facing and hopefully work towards in moving this damaged system towards one that is more healthy and beneficial to today’s native youth.
