Yaqui Chairwoman: Tribe committed to education
Friday, July 20, 2007
"The Star's editorial ("TUSD's plan for Pascua kids is a good start," July
17) was misleading. The Pascua Yaqui Tribe is committed to ensuring that our
children receive a high-quality education in a safe and nurturing environment.
The tribe devotes a considerable amount of time, money and other resources
to the Tucson Unified School District in this effort. Although we carefully
outlined our educational initiatives to the Star's reporter, they did not
appear in his story.
Pascua Yaqui families are hard-working people who, like most parents, dream
that their children will be successful and will realize their full potential
in life. Our families understand and value the importance of education in
making those dreams come true.
The fact that the tribe funds nearly 400 scholarships each semester to help
young tribal members attend a college or university proves this point.
Our families deserve better, and we look forward to working with TUSD to
improve the schools in our community."
