The National Indian Education Study (NIES) is administered as part of the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP), which was expanded to allow more in-depth reporting on the achievement and experiences of American Indian/Alaska Native (AI/AN) students. This important book presents results on the achievement of AI/AN fourth-and eight-graders in reading and mathematics and examines the educational experiences of AI/AN students, their teachers and schools, and the integration of native culture and language in their education.
