Looking ahead to the coming school year
Oklahoma is among at least 18 states with new laws restricting how public schools can teach history about race and culture.

Teachers are now wondering how to inform students about events like the Trail of Tears and the Tulsa Massacre. Some educators are defying the restrictions.

Also, the Pointe-au-Chien Tribe in Louisiana is starting a new language immersion school two years after their only elementary school closed.

Join Native America Calling to get a snapshot of what Native educators see ahead in the new school year.
