The Yazzie Case provides essential reading for educators, policy analysts, attorneys, professors, and students to understand the historically entrenched racism and colonial barriers impacting all Native American students in New Mexicos public schools. It constructs a new vision and calls for transformational change to resolve the systemic challenges plaguing Native American students in New Mexicos public education system.ContributorsGeorgina BadoniCynthia BenallyRebecca Blum MartnezNathaniel CharleyMelvatha R.
