senting them with an opportunity
to earn a high school diplom a or an
associate’s degree.
M aher said cultural courses will
in tegrate traditional, ecological
know ledge with practical applica
tions.
“ Kids have learned that math
and science have nothing to do
with them ,” she said, "but the real
ity is our people have been doing
math, science and technology for
thousands o f years, in a different
w ay.”
