us in celebrating this achievement by making a gift to the <a href="https://duckfunder.uoregon.edu/project/22986">
Sapsik'ʷałá DuckFunder Campaign</a> to raise support for Indigenous students.</span></span><span class="mso-font-fix-arial1"><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif"> Even if you’re unable to give, please help us spread the word and share this with your

<p style="margin:0in"><span class="mso-font-fix-arial1"><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black">As you know, this program has helped Indigenous teachers launch their careers and go on to teach children in their communities across the nation.
These students now learn from educators who reflect their identities, languages, and cultures—mentors who can guide and support them.</span></span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">As a celebration of Native American Heritage Month, we are highlighting Sapsik'ʷałá alumni and our goal to inspire
<b>100 donors to give in honor of 100 alumni.</b> Gifts to the DuckFunder will support the crucial needs of our Sapsik'ʷałá students like scholarships, books, and fees. Donations will also allow our Distinguished Elder Educator, Tuxámshish Dr. Virginia Beavert,
to provide mentorship, guidance and training to students around how to effectively support Indigenous students, teach Indigenous languages, and integrate Native studies into curriculum.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">You can view our Sapsik'ʷałá alumni profiles on the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/uoeducation">
COE Facebook page</a> throughout the month of November.<o:p></o:p></p>
