The Native Knowledge 360° Teach-In offers educators a dynamic 4.5-hour experience featuring a keynote, strategies for teaching contemporary Native perspectives, and a guided exploration of Native Truths: Our Voices, Our Stories.
This year’s Teach-In features a virtual keynote from Dr. Scott Manning Stevens (Akwesasne Mohawk), a nationally recognized scholar in Native American cultures, museum studies, and Native literatures. He is the author of Why You Can't Teach United States History without American Indians and currently serves as Associate Professor and Director of the Center for Global Indigenous Cultures and Environmental Justice at Syracuse University.
Additional highlights include educator focused sessions on teaching contemporary Native perspectives and a guided exploration of the Native Truths exhibition. This annual event continues to grow in reach and impact, supporting hundreds of educators in transforming classroom narratives around Indigenous peoples and histories.Key Speaker: Scott Manning Stevens
