Native American Issues Survey

 Hello everyone - I have been selected to participate in a college study that involves writing articles on a survey study for a symposium of native american colleges for a study journal publication they will distribute to various departments among the participating colleges and universities for research and program development purposes. The first step in this process involves me establishing and circulating a survey questionnaire to as many people, native americans (of any status or degree of blood heritage) and non native americans alike through various forums and means, both online and physically in person. The second requirement for me is to then compile, analyze and publish the survey results in article form to the colleges. The results of the survey and my subsequent articles on it will be used as a source for developing accurate assessments of the major issues, perceptions and attitudes about these issues, and the general level of awareness surrounding these issues facing Native American's & Native American communities today. This information will be utilized by the various participating colleges in their curriculum course study planning and development and community out reach programs to enable them to better identify, address and develop effective programs to help the tribal colleges, tribal communities, tribal governments, organizations that serve Native Americans interests and needs, federal & state agencies to better serve Native American people and their needs. It will also help to raise the general public's awareness and understanding of these issues. I feel this is a valuable and important study and program, and I am proud to have been selected to contribute and participate in this program study and development. If anyone is interested in supporting this important effort to better serve and empower the Native Americans of North America, you may do so by taking this general survey I have devised, it would only take a few minutes and it would be greatly appreciated and of immense help in furthering the interests of all native americans. The survey is confidential and no personally identifiable information of the survey participants is either collected or disclosed to anyone, not even myself. All participants and their answers to the survey questions remain anonymous unless you so choose to tell others you have participated. This is just the first of several surveys that will undertaken in coming weeks,... and while many questions are specifically addressed towards native americans in general, everyone, non native americans included, are invited and welcome to participate. Non Native Americans are encouraged to participate as part of the study's intent and goals is to assess awareness and understanding among the general public regarding Native Americans and the issues they face today. If there is a question that does not apply specifically to a survey participant, that question may be skipped or additional information added in the provided free form text boxes if applicable. This is the first such serious study of it's kind ever undertaken by a non U.S. or Canadian government agency or private university, specifically conducted by Native American & tribal colleges themselves. Results of this survey along with other census, demographic, and research data will be combined and analyzed to help develop a true and accurate picture of the state of Native Americans' and the issues the face today. Your participation will serve a valued and important cause that may prove to be of intrinsic importance in helping find solutions to many issues and providing a foundation for addressing the needs of many tribal communities and all Native Americans today and tomorrow. In advance, I thank everyone for their participation in this important survey and study. Again, all participation is confidential and no personal information is collected or disclosed on any individual participant in the survey. Only total numbers of responses and the answers to the questions asked is collected. You will not be asked for your email address, mailing address, name, location, or any other personally identifying information. At the end of the survey, when you click "done", you will be directed to the main site page of the company that is providing the online survey service for this study, you may close and ignore that page, they do not wish any information from you.
