Native Americans are a vibrant and\ngrowing population with rich, distinct cultures and histories in the United\nStates. However, Native peoples are invisible to many Americans. The 2016-2018\nReclaiming Native Truth (RNT) project \u2013 the largest research and strategy\nsetting initiative ever conducted by and for Native peoples \u2013 found that the\ninvisibility of Native peoples is pervasive and entrenched across all sectors\nof American society. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Education is one of the most\npowerful opinion shaping systems in America. Most Americans likely have\nattended or currently attend a school where information about Native Americans\nis either completely absent from the classroom or relegated to brief mentions,\nnegative information, or inaccurate stereotypes. This results in an enduring\nand damaging narrative regarding Native peoples, tribal nations, and their\ncitizens. Even though some exceptional efforts are happening around the country\nto bring accurate, culturally responsive, tribally specific, and contemporary\ncontent about Native Americans into mainstream education systems, much work\nremains to be done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The newly released Becoming Visible Report<\/a> is an analysis of the landscape of current state efforts to bring high-quality educational content about Native peoples and communities into all kindergarten to 12th grade (K-12) classrooms across the United States. The focus of this report is on state education policies and programs that support culturally responsive Native K-12 curricula for public schools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Click Here to Read the Report<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A Landscape Analysis of State Efforts to Provide Native American Education for All Native Americans are a vibrant and growing population with rich, distinct cultures and histories in the United States.
