Abstract	This case report describes a rural Alaska high school teacher's efforts to motivate nine Yup'ik Indian seniors to plan for their futures after high school. The case was written as a training tool to help teaching students to: (1) spot issues and frame problems in complex teaching situations; (2) interpret a situation from different perspectives; (3) identify different possibilities for action; and (4) consider the ramifications of different courses of action. The teacher in the case wants his students to attend college or vocational school and volunteers for the difficult position of "site guidance counselor." The report describes the teacher's efforts to develop a guidance program, his concerns about whether he is pushing his students too hard and whether his aspirations for them conflict with their Indian cultural values. It describes how he plans a special 2-week guidance project, the result of his project, and what finally happens to the students the year after high school. Discussion questions encourage prospective teachers to consider cultural shifts and conflicts faced by the rural Yup'ik students, their understanding of possible adult lifestyles, possible modifications in the guidance program, and the measures of its success. Other topics discussed include the following: (1) the nurturing nature of rural Indian villages that might hinder students' ability to prepare for adulthood; (2) college entrance rates in Alaska by ethnicity and gender; (3) participation of Inupiat men and women in the wage economy; (4) counseling programs in small rural high schools; and (5) broadening students' experience with travel programs.
