Access versus Success: The Native American Indian Community College Student.

Thompson, Gary E.

Community/Junior College Quarterly of Research and Practice, v14 n3 p239-50 Jul-Sep 1990

Describes a study of the academic achievement of Native American students at Rogers State College in U.S. History courses. Interviews suggested that poor achievement in U.S. History (in comparison to American Indian students' grades in other courses and non-Indian students' grades) were related to culturally based differences in defining "history."
