American Indian and Alaska Native students hold valuable cultural assets that support their learning. Our team helps you build on those strengths and improve Native student outcomes using a culturally responsive and sustaining approach. Leveraging our expertise in Native education and your community knowledge, we develop research and evaluation projects, professional development, and curricula that center Tribal culture, history, and ways of knowing. Whether you want to support Native educators, engage Native communities, or teach Native language and culture, we co-create solutions that honor Tribal sovereignty and help Native students thrive.
