This Native American Heritage Month, NIEA honors the cultures, knowledge, and communities at the heart of Native education.
We celebrate Native students and the futures they envision, alongside the educators, families, and community members who help them learn and grow.
That commitment carries into the everyday work of education: respecting the knowledge students bring from their families and communities, including Native voices in what we teach, and creating learning environments where students feel valued and supported in pursuing their goals.
Native Education. Every Day.
