| Sumario: | A study examined how American Indian students' subjective cultural identities and internalized specific cultural values shaped their views of scientific and technological products and professions.

Alternative approaches to science education and practice should be devised that would increase Indians' scientific achievements and make it more likely that indigenous perspectives would influence scientific research and scientific application. |
