On Indigenous Peoples’ Day, we honor the histories, cultures and contributions of Indigenous peoples, past and present. We recognize the five Tribal Nations of Idaho and celebrate the Indigenous community members who help strengthen early learning across our state!
Idaho AEYC was proud to be a major sponsor of the Second Annual Tribal Early Childhood Summit, which brought together tribal educators and leaders, early childhood professionals, and community partners to learn from one another and discuss priorities for early childhood education in Idaho’s Tribal communities.
