    • Abstract:
      Culturally oriented instructional materials for Pima children are described in this final report of a 3-year study funded by the Elementary and Secondary Education Act, Title III. The reported objective of the project was to assist the Pima children living on the Gila River Indian Reservation in Arizona to develop a positive self-image and a sense of pride through better knowledge, understanding, and appreciation of the Pima culture and the contributions it has made in their lives. In the document, the Instructional Materials Center is described, and expanded services of the center are noted. Descriptions of materials developed through the project in the areas of reading, Pima cultural background, soil science, and social studies are also presented, and a catalog of non-print materials available through the Instructional Materials Center is described. A financial report is appended. (PS)
