Abstract
Educators and human service workers who experience difficulties in communicating with Native American students, parents and clients may be overlooking important subcultural differences which this group displays. A survey of 180 American Indian families living on and off reservations in Maine and in Metropolitan Boston showed differences in life style, when compared / with a control group of low income white families, in the areas of property ownership, competition, consistency of household membership , and in friendship and neighboring patterns, all of which have implications for educalOrs and human service workers.
