Indian Education for All Background Knowledge Building Webinar Series – Tribal Sovereignty

 Coming this November! Register soon!

This free, six-part webinar series is for Montana K-12 teachers and administrators looking for a content-rich professional development experience that builds background knowledge about tribal sovereignty in the United States. Participants will learn about different aspects of sovereignty, such as a basic history of tribal sovereignty, tribal governance, natural resource management, blood quantum, cultural autonomy and more. Each session is 90 minutes long and educators can earn two renewal units for each webinar they attend - a total of twelve renewal units should the educators participate in all six sessions. The sessions will take place on Tuesdays from 4:00-5:30, November 1 through December 13, 2022, except for one on Thursday, November 17. A Participant Resource folder will be created and accessible to participants once the series begins. The series sessions will each be recorded and made available on YouTube after the series begins, also.
