Native Education 101

To better understand how the current Native education system was established, NIEA has created the Native Nations and American Schools: The History of Natives in the American Education System to share information about the historical context and status of Native Education. Our hope is that this document can serve as a guide for educators to utilize responsive education strategies and understand their Native students.

This publication provides:

  • An Essential Understanding of Native Education

  • Promising Practices in Native Education

  • Key Native Education Legislation and Executive Orders

  • Current State of Native Education

  • Resources
