Tribal Advocacy for Educational Change
April Chavez; Barbara Jones
Region 15 Comprehensive Center
This overview describes themes from the "Tribal Advocacy for Educational Change: Systemic Approaches" webinar. Tribal leaders from New Mexico and Washington addressed the ongoing realities of colonization that impact public education systems. They detailed how tribes, governments, and Native-serving organizations are designing systemic approaches to ensure students are ready to participate in their tribal communities and have the skills to pursue their education and careers. Themes emerged from presentations and participant comments and represent a combination of strategies and philosophical approaches to support Indigenous educational legacies and promote student advancement.
