American Indian and Indigenous Altai Literacies
Prof. Anne Calhoon, Dr Cynthia Annett.
American Indian students need forms of cultural and social capital that supports their transitions to graduate study while remaining connected to their cultures. Providing the needed information for transitions to academic study is best supported when it involves inclusive mentoring and working with different formats for learning. We explore how our students met their learning needs and travelled to and from Southern Siberia's Altai Republic and to Kansas during two summers. Students exchanged cultural literacies during their work with one another.
