we do find that programs that are run by american indians, alaska natives, for american indians, alaska natives or programs that target hispanics, run by hispanics, tend to produce better outcomes than programs that are not sensitive to those issues. so we use sort of a bias force paradigm. there are programs that are not run by the specific population group, but have modules that are targeted to the unique needs of that group. so they do not as well as the programs that are run by the specific population group, but they do better than programs that are general. so when we look at the outcomes of, say, a woman in a male program or a general program that doesn't have any gender specific programming, she doesn't do as well as the program that is targeted to, for women, run for women or a program that has gender-specific issues. the same thing for american indian, alaska natives, hispanics, african americans, and the same thing would be applicable to gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender. the key issue is of cultural competence and that is the thing that if indeed you know you've got a d

william, within the native, american indian community, i am sure there are going to be so many differences, differences among the tribes and even within the tribe. can you address some of those? most definitely. the interesting thing with native american tribes is previously people would automatically assume that one tribe was the same as the next. my particular tribe, the cherokee, are completely different than our cousins out in oklahoma, the cherokee nation of oklahoma. within our reservation in north carolina, we have seven individual communities and each of those communities is completely different. we're a collective people, but we're all individualized in our communities. and how do they differ in terms of service delivery, for example, when you have to address their addiction issues? it comes down to developing that level of trust. some of our communities, it seems to be the communities that are closest to the center of the reservation are more apt to seek services as opposed to some of our more isolated communities, especially up in the mountain regions. very good. john, in your l

and i had witnessed-- i had been part of a circle dance in the dakotas of american indians. and one of the circle dance songs had to do with ritual scarification and bloodletting. and we were supporting that through our folk and traditional arts program. so at the same time i was dealing with this modern man, gay man who was doing some modest bloodletting but bloodletting nonetheless, i was also dealing with american indians who had had this as part of their culture for thousands of years. and then there was a legislative attempt to prohibit art that involved any kind of depiction of bloodletting? yes, jesse helms brought an amendment to the floor saying the n.e.a. should have no more grants given to bloodletting, whereupon christopher dodd of connecticut said, "now wait a minute." he's a catholic. he said, "that means no more crucifixion, "no more st. sebastian with arrows through him, "no more head of john the baptist, not to mention military battles." so that was the end of that amendment. it's a significant segment of our history gone just like that. not to mention-- not

how many of our school kids are allowed to read about our attempts to genocide of native americans, of indians for example? how many of our kids that go to school learn this stuff? how much censorship is there over what kids are allowed to learn in school? but that's one kind of censorship. but the other is the choices we make as to what we're willing to think about and what unpleasant things we're willing to examine. now, that kind of censorship i find even more dangerous in a democracy. what you do about it, i'm not quite sure. if that self-censorship has led to theater in this country being less challenging, at least on broadway and highly visible locations and more escapist fare, you say you don't know what you can do about it, but i do believe you've talked about the need for education for young people. do you think that the next generation can embrace the kind of challenging work-- i know what i would do about it. i'm not sure that anybody's gonna pay any attention to me. we have to start educating young people in the arts even before they're aware of it. you know, once young people star
