Heather E. Bruce

Abstract

It describes three community projects developed by the Montana Writing Project to contribute to implementation efforts and peace activism in these matters. Examined are relevant theories of peace education: "Indian Education for All" legislation, the Montana Writing Project as a site of the National Writing : Project involved in Project Outreach efforts, and difficulties encountered in engaging this work. Participant writing : and photographs are included as illustrations of work accomplished.
