Cindy, the University of Oklahoma is currently examining the concept of Native American studies and attempting to determine rather or not it has a valid place in the domain of academia.  Of course the people who are examining and deciding have little or no background in the specifics of NAS.  The Native American faculty here on campus have submitted numerous offers to research and assist in this development.  However, there has been almost no response to our gestures.  I believe that the concept of NAS wil




l ultimately find a place especially during this time of "cultural diversity" on our campuses and throughout the nation.  I only hope that the decision makers identify and consult with knowledgeable, accurate Indian professionals before they wave their magic wand of blessing.  The issue of political accuracy is crucial when it comes to decisions which impact/effect the education of, and about American Indians.
