The U.S. Department of Education's Teacher-to-Teacher Initiative, in collaboration with Office of Indian Education, is proud to announce the launch of the Digital Teacher Workshops for Teachers of Native American youstudents. The workshops are designed to provide professional development
opportunities for teachers of American Indians and Alaska Natives in all
grade levels and content areas. The workshops support mastery of
academic content and application by modeling strong teaching methods
that have been successful in the classroom and providing a classroom
application component, and additional resources.
These workshops are available FREE on the Internet at
www.t2tweb.us/nativeamerican. Our first workshops focus on literature,
community outreach, and reading.

NOTE:
These resources are
only a beginning,
an initial supplement
to the introductory information
in this site.
Sources with a Dakota point of view are rare. Most of these resources express information from a dominant culture point of view. For example, “This region was acquired by the U.S. government by treaty in 1805.” The word ‘acquired’ is not chosen by a Dakota writer.
This collection of resources will evolve and grow. Check back to discover new resources. For example, we plan a bibliography of published works by indigenous writers about education of and education about Native people.
