Learning activities are the main feature of this instructor's guide for a course which emphasizes appreciation of American Indian culture for non-Indian human service providers. The course can be completed in 12-15 hours and may be used as part of a college social work course or presented in workshop fashion. The manual is companion to a student text and follows the same format with five major sections: (1) introduction to diverse lifestyles and culture of Southwest Indian tribes; (2) Indian extended families and tribal social networks; (3) social work practice concepts--dual perspective, motivation, and stabilization--in relation to serving Indian people; (4) the nature of the federal-tribal relationship; and (5) child and family welfare services available to Indians. Each section begins with a one-page overview stating the major emphasis, sequence of units, and desired outcome and competencies for learners. Following the summary are study/discussion questions, suggested readings, and detailed learning activities which include various role playing situations, problem-solving, and goal setting. The unit on tribal and Christian religions suggests learning a simple Indian dance, discussing the social and religious importance of dance in American Indian culture, and developing a hypothetical problem with a religious basis.
