<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Sarah, thanks for responding and sharing the
barriers for Northern California Hoopa Indian Reservation peoples. Your
experience as an online learner is a testament to the opportunity of this medium
to reach people in Geographically isolated areas. </FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I thought I'd responded to you personally, however
looking in my special folder, I see your message was marked unread. Excuse the

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I am anxious to get started looking for grand money
to have a conference and continue to network with other scholars, educators,
educational programs, and whom ever might be able to help create more
opportunities.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT><BR></DIV>Jan,<BR><BR>I am very interested
in this possibility. I live and work in a very rural area of Northern
California - on the Hoopa Indian Reservation. The nearest university is over
an hour away (further for many) and over a high mountain pass with bad road
conditions in the winter. I have personally completed a teaching certification
program on-line through CalStateTEACH so I know it can be done. I think such
an opportunity could benefit many of our local students.<BR><BR>Sarah Supahan,

Subject: Query: American Indian Scholars Contact Info-Online
Education<BR>><BR>><BR>> Greetings, List readers. I'm trying to
compile a list of educators and<BR>scholars who might be interested in
American Indian educational<BR>opportunities using online education
technology. This would include anyone<BR>who is interested in online
education for and by American Indians<BR>themselves. Any suggestions on
where to begin assembling a contact list of<BR>potentially interested
persons. My thinking is to help expand educational<BR>opportunities for
American Indians, and bring together American Indian<BR>scholars from all
over the country and world to teach virtually. I'm looking<BR>for funding
also to have a conference for discussing the possibilities of<BR>online
education to bridge geographic space, and technological
divide<BR>experienced by American Indian learners.<BR>><BR>> Jan
