Tribal education departments offer opportunities most public and private schools can’t: a solid education in a culturally relevant environment. The departments sometimes run schools on reservations and even provide higher education scholarships. State and local education agencies are required to consult with tribes under the Every Student Succeeds Act. We’ll talk with educators about the role tribes play in the education of their citizens and improve education for Native students.
Guests:
Quinton Roman Nose (Cheyenne and Arapaho Tribes) – executive director for Tribal Education Departments National Assembly
Erika Tracy (Hoopa) – education director for Hoopa Valley Tribe
Laurie Harper (Leech Lake Band of Ojibwe) – director of education for the Leech Lake Band of Ojibwe
