Abstract

This particular curriculum will consist of clean drinking water and provisions of congressional legislation on Safe Drinking Water Act, which will provide an awareness of water pollution and being able to take water sample and analyze it. Incorporating Dine concepts into the requirements for this curriculum is very difficult. A lot of the Dine teachings have been cut from this unit to meet the guidelines of the program. The same for the scientific portion, mostly this unit is a focus on the law or legislation of the Safe Drinking Water Act (1974, amended 2004), and how pollution is a major factor as a contaminant.
