| Abstract |
This paper explores the socio-educational needs and reviews the acculturation stressors that American Indian students encounter while attending school. Also described are the effects that these stressors had on a selected group ofAmerican Indian adolescent students attending school in a Southwestern school district. Social work with groups is presented as a culturally grounded intervention to maximize students efforts to achieve and maintain a certain levelof biculturalism. Specific findings from the case study are presented and implications are shared for possible future replication of this approach. (Journal abstract.)
