OJI:SDA’ holds the first Virtual Spring Summit that brings together educators and honored guests to learn how Land-based teaching from Indigenous Scholar Elders, Knowledge Carriers and education experts can transform the classroom space. Speakers included Tahila Mintz, Jason Corwin, Maribel Gonzalez, Beverly Singer, Geraldine Standup, Yvonne Wakim Dennis and the The Washington Ethnic Studies Now (WAESN) Youth Advisory Board (YAB).

We began by writing all the things that the class knew about water and by the end of the day you could hear the kids remarking “Water is alive”.

OJI:SDA’ mobilized their community and supporters in response to the COVID pandemic's impact on Indigenous communities.

Learn from the OJI:SDA’ education team about what Land-based teaching is and why it is important to embed Indigenous teachings into the curriculum.

Storytelling through art and media is crucial for the visibility of Native Americans.
