The Office of American Indian Education is working with the Tribal Sovereignty Institute at the University of Minnesota Duluth to develop an eLearning series for educators focusing on Indigenous-oriented education. The goal of these eLearning courses is to better equip K-12 educators, staff, and administrators to serve Native learners and families. These courses will allow participants to cultivate knowledge about Native people and nations that they can use when teaching and for engaging with Tribal governments.
