An Evaluation of the Crow 4-H Program. A Summary Introduction.
Weber, Robert A.
In the spring of 1971, pertinent literature was reviewed and a small survey conducted on the Crow Indian Reservation to find more effective ways to develop Indian youth through 4-H programs. Twenty-five people, mostly Indian, were surveyed using a semi-structured interview form. Comments were solicited following each of the structured questions. Some conclusions drawn from the study and from the review were: (1) The data indicated that 96% of the persons interviewed were interested in having 4-H clubs on the Reservation; (2) Respondents felt that individual development is more important than completion of 4-H projects; (3) Projects in which respondents were most interested included Crow legends, clans, environment, and native foods; and (4) It would be of value if Reservation Extension staff had a background in human relations training or if they could attend educational conferences, do graduate work, or take part in educational courses related to Indian culture and people. Recommendations for improving this program covered encouraging Indian college students interested in youths to work on Reservations under the work-study program and involving Crow Indians in all phases of a program's development, its support, and its leadership responsibilities.
