Elizabeth Wiley MA JD Pomo Elder

The Author is the first Native American Rez woman to complete law school in her State. Having done extensive volunteer hours in family and juvenile courts and projects, the author was appointed as the National Director of Native American Family and Juvenile Justice Systems for an Indian Centers USA project utilizing both cultures to address issues of families and juveniles special to Native American Cultures. The Author also now has a Masters Degree in Bicultural Development as well as all but the last paper(wrote five) sign off for a PhD in Public Agencies and Reassessing and Restructuring Public Agencies for International consulting work. Growing up in two cultures is likened to straddling an electrified razor wire fence often seen on military bases and prisons. The second book, a second in a series on Public Agencies FOR the people, not bureaucrats, again brings the thought that supporting the law, Constitution and just plain ethics and morality and being forced to deal with those who sigh and say, ‘that’s way it is” put the author on another electrified razor wire topped fence.

INTRODUCTION:

This book started out to be stories about all our years of teaching, and include stories from other teachers. As we drafted, it became what it is….The second volume of this book will be a lot more stories and how we learned to be teachers. We are still learning, and we are retired.

INTRODUCTION:

Our books are written as on ongoing series for high risk youth, veterans, and first responders as well as their parents and those who are raising them.

One of the reasons for starting this series was we, as special needs teachers, as therapists, as Directors of programs and private schools for high risk youth began to recognize how many of the children and youth were children of veterans, grandchildren of veterans, and also first responders.

We then noticed the numbers of minority children and poverty level financial back grounds were the reality for high risk children and youth. We saw children of Mothers who had been as young as NINE at the birth of their child among the high risk students. Whether rich, or poverty level, we saw children of alcohol, sexual, and drug addictions.

We saw children as young as 18 months labeled with an alphabet of mental health disorders, medicated and put into special schools where in fact media found they were often warehoused, abused, and not taught at all. Upon seeing a news story about the schools discovered at some of the licensed sites, in which children and teens often did not have desks, or chairs to sit on, let alone proper educational supplies and equipment for special learning program, we joined with others, and designed programs.

We were naive enough to think our work, offered FREE in most cases, would be welcomed especially as we offer it free and all materials paid for through research projects, but, it was NOT valued or wanted.

What? we asked? Why? we asked?

We went back to college and while earning degrees we had apparently NOT needed while working with children of the very rich in expensive private schools, we did research projects to document our findings. To find ways to overcome the problems. Again, our work was NOT valued or wanted.

One of our associates, who had asked many of us to volunteer in a once a month FREE reading program in the local public schools, was held back for almost two years doing paperwork and proving her volunteers, most of them parents of successful children, teens and adults, could read a first five years book and teach parents how to read those books to their own children. She was a Deputy United States Prosecutor, and had recruited friends from all levels of law enforcement, child and family services, education and volunteer groups that served children and families.

None the less, we continued our work, met a fabulous and expensive Psychiatrist who was building his own server system and the first online education project after creating a massive and encompassing medical examination study guide for graduate medical students to assist them in passing global and national medical examinations for licensing.

We worked with a team of citizens and
