Abstract	This study is a "teaching case." It is a description of events written to help education students understand the complex, ambiguous situations which arise in rural teaching. The limitations of scientific rules and principles for teacher training are especially obvious in rural Alaska schools--where teachers who are typically Caucasian instruct children from Eskimo or Indian communities. Teachers in a culturally-different community must decide to what extent they should participate in community affairs, how they should respond to various community factions, and to what extent they should accept or attempt to alter the situations in which they find themselves. In this recounting of actual events, an experienced female teacher in rural Alaska becomes the recipient of threats and obscene phone calls. This case describes the actions the teacher took to resolve the problem, the tangle of events in which the problem was embedded, and what finally happened to the teacher. This study delineates the history of the local school since its opening in 1977. It describes the Alaska Natives in the community who were largely autonomous and protective of their native members. The Advisory School Board, staffed by local natives, exerted much authority over the school and involved itself in the personal lives of the certified school staff, who were basically outsiders. (KS)
