The Director of a National Endowment for the Humanities Summer Institute, Dr. Stephanie Wood of the Center for Equity Promotion, will discuss her fully immersive, educational road trip with 25 school teachers from across the United States. The group visited with elders and Native educators in reservations, state and national parks, museums, and tribal colleges along part of the Lewis and Clark Trail, all with the goal to gain a better understanding of Indigenous points of view on the occupation of the West by Euro-Americans and our shared history.  She will also discuss the foundation for the institute, a 10-year curriculum project, Honoring Tribal Legacies, that is just beginning its 10th year of funding from the National Park Service. The results of these endeavors may be of interest to teachers in training and current teachers in Oregon who are working to provide the Native American experience to their students.
