| Abstract | In this article, the authors discuss the importance of building a technological infrastructure and of creating educational opportunities for Native Americans that focus on information sciences in order for them to keep up with quickly changing technologies and to close the information gap, and present a research that focuses on the specific technological needs and desires of American Indian reservations. The Delphi research method was used in the study, employing a multistage process that required the collection and synthesis of data from a panel gleaned from the tribal enterprises and government work force. This study took place during a three-week period on a reservation with a large tribal government and a thriving economic development sector. Technology leaders, such as administrators and staff, from the tribal government and enterprises were selected for this study. Using the snowball interviewing technique, open-ended questions were designed to elicit answers that identified participants' reflections on their use of technology, how best to prepare for their position, and what the future might bring for technology use by tribal members. The results show that reservation work forces span a wide range of technology jobs, functions, and duties. The type of skills identified are separated into three divisions: (1) foundation skills; (2) applications; and (3) high-end skills. Several themes revealed from the results of this study are presented. (Contains 3 figures, 2 tables and 33 notes.) (ERIC). |
