Language, power, and pedagogy: Whose school is it?

Abstract

This article describes a collaborative research and school improvement project with the village of Manokotak, the local school district, and the University of Alaska Fairbanks. This collaborative project was ostensibly about the language of instruction, English and/or Yup'ik. However, the project caused a deep rupture between the university and the school district as issues of power and ideology surfaced. This conflict reflected a deeper ongoing internal struggle between community members of Manokotak, and, in fact, the larger indigenous community about resolving dilemmas of being modern and tribal.
