A field study program in American Indian culture, language, art, history and contemporary life will be offered this summer in the heart of the Southwest's "Indian country" by the non-profit American Forum for International Study in cooperation with the Interior Department's Bureau of Indian Affairs.
The four-week program, July 5 through August 1, 1970, is designed for teachers, advanced college students and those whose professions require an understanding of American Indian groups.
The program opens at Navajo Community College in the center of the Navajo Reservation, at Many Farms, Ariz., for two weeks of formal class and demonstration sessions on Indian cultures of the Southwest, Indian education, economic development, tribal government and contemporary Indian affairs.
The program will then move to the Bureau's Institute of American Indian Arts at Santa Fe, N.M., for a series of lectures, demonstration sessions and discussions in the visual, written and performing arts.
At both Many Farms and Santa Fe, participants will meet with Indian people, take field trips to Indian communities, see Indian dances, historic, prehistoric and scenic sites, and visit schools, trading posts, and other areas of interest.
Complete details on the program are available from the American Forum for International Study, 1725 K Street, N.W, Washington DC 20006.
