One hundred‐Fifty American Indian and fifty non‐Indian 11th‐ and 12th‐grade students were surveyed to assess self‐reported problem areas and persons perceived as potential sources of help. Problems indicated by Indian students in metropolitan, rural, and boarding schools are noted, as well as those of non‐Indian students. Problems likely to be discussed with counselors or with significant others are identified and different patterns of persons nominated as providing help are described. Although we caution against over‐generalization, the findings are intended to increase the understanding of those concerned with training counselors to work with Indian youth.
