Western States Civics Coalition: Tribal Sovereignty

November 17, 3:30 to 5:00 p.m. PT

Today there are 574 federally recognized tribes in the United States. Tribal sovereignty is a rich, present, and dynamic topic for the civics classroom. So how should teachers go about incorporating tribal sovereignty into their civics instruction? Join the Western States Civics Coalition on November 17, 3:30 from 5:00 p.m. PT, as we bring together a panel of tribal leaders from across the country to discuss:

  • The value of teaching about tribal sovereignty
  • Teaching with tribes, not just about them
  • Best practices for school districts when engaging with tribes
  • Resources for teaching tribal histories and cultures

This free Zoom session will help deepen your understanding and provide ideas on how to frame this subject with students. We'd love to see you there!
