Comprehensive Assessment II/ Margith A. Strand/Fielding Graduate University/E.d.D.*

The advent of the technology which has enabled the creation of the internet network has resulted in a much needed mode of communication and knowledge-base from which American society, as well as the Global Community can advance their respective missions.

This Comprehensive Assessment discusses ths mission, in particular, the context of the Native American student and the limitations that the American federal government and their respective agencies have placed on the Native American community within the years [2001-2008] during which time the access to the internet was limited due to regulatory constraints and boundaries in the area of governance and contracted obligations to the Native American community.

The Comprehensive Assessment will address this situation within the following contexts: (1)
jurisdictional considerations, (2) past and present status of Native American legal rights in the areas of Education, as well as property law. (3) Mark Weiner's legal perspectives as named "judicial racism," (4) Native American Language Acts (1990), (5) Tribal Law vs Federal Law consideration of self-determination [Civil Rights Act of 1968], (6) Internet/Broadband theory of communication, (7) Education Program Management, (8) Haebeus Corpus of Native American/American students according to the Constitution of the United States of America.

First of all, in the area of jurisdictional considerations, we must look at the basic rights of the American citizen and students in the context of achieving the purpose as stated in the Constitution of the United States of America, which is paraphrased as "pursuit of liberty and happiness." It is the element of the choice which dictates that Americans can pursue her or his choices as powered by the individual's sense of will and perspective; within the construction of the educational as well as legal bounds as established by the U.S. House of Representatives, U.S. House of the Senate, the Judiciary Branches of the Federal and State governments, and the Office of the President from the beginning of the establishment of this nation.

The focus of this nation has been to enable the individual to set course the individual's life to pursue this mission, as intended by the signing and ratification of the U.S. Constitution.
The Native American Tribes have also ratified the U.S. Constitution [year], and in this act, established their rights as governing all U.S. citizens.

Information from the Native American Funding Bureau for 2007 indicates that in the area of Education Program Management for Elementary, Secondary and Post-Secondary programs under the jurisdiction of the Bureau of Indian Affairs.
