Thank you to everyone who came out today! We had an amazing turnout and, unfortunately, ran out of school supplies.
If your student still needs school supplies, please don't hesitate to reach out to the department. We're happy to help however we can.

We are just weeks away from another wonderful school year!

Before we return to school, join us for our annual Back to School Bash with our friends & community partners across the state! Enjoy food, crafts, art, community organizations, games, cultural story telling, get your vaccinations updated and enjoy time together in community!

Free Meal for attendees hosted & provided by MHA Nation Chairman Fox & Sage Coulee!

Meet your Cultural Responsive Coordinators and connect with our beautiful community!

We had an amazing time presenting at the North Dakota Indian Education Summit, connecting with fellow professionals all across our state! So proud of the initiatives and actions taken across Indigenous Education!

Thank you to our incredible student dancers of BPS & MPS for sharing your heart and talents! Thank you to Jermaine Bell for sharing his powerful voice and MC gifts, explaining each category and including the work he does alongside our students throughout the school year. We are so thankful for you!

Thankful also to get to hear the talented beautiful flute music of Darren Thompson, hearing the life story of Indigenous actor and advocate, Martin Sensmeier!

Thank you to Dr. Oban & Ms. Sala for presenting the impactful work being done at Horizon Middle School after dedicating years to Cultural Responsive Teaching & Practice with Scott Simpson & Sharla Steever who also shared their new, professional development being offered across ND.

Thank you ND DPI Office of Indian Education & Multicultural Learners for allowing us this time to share the work, and continue forward together in community, while also learning from the rest of our incredible presenters from across the state!

Whoohooo! Love it, Amaya!!! 🌸

We're featuring our amazing team in the coming weeks. Pay close attention and you could WIN some amazing prizes this fall after we've featured everyone.

First up is our AWESOME INTERN, Amaya Willis. Amaya has been with us for most of the summer and will be going back to school soon. 🥺 We'll miss her positivity and helpfulness but wish her the best back at the University of MN-Morris.
