I believe that having a rounded education is important, so I would agree that the Indian Education for All is a worthy cause. I also believe, however, that multi-cultural education in general is terribly neglected in our school systems. If the lack of Native American studies is a concern I believe that the lack of studies of other prominent (and more obscure) cultures should also be a concern.

I agree that we should be focusing some attention on different cultures in public schools. It's very interesting to me too, how strange new and different cultures can seem to some people, and how afraid they can be of having those cultures present in "their" society. Sometimes it bothers me how unexposed I have been to diverse cultures, having grown up in Montana and even in the United States. I've personally never been out of the country; but I hope that next summer, when I take my first trip to Europe, I will be exposed to a wide variety of people that I never knew existed.
