Project Grant ES30135824

This Project Grant award of $173,044.00 from the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) Promotion of the Humanities Professional Development program (CFDA 45.163) supports a 2-week NEH K-12 institute led by faculty from Northern Arizona University (NAU) in collaboration with the NAU Institute for Native-Serving Educators. The program aims to expose secondary social studies educators to new historiography, primary sources, and teaching strategies for incorporating Native American histories into their curriculum. The institute will equip participating educators with the knowledge and skills needed to center Indigenous histories, themes, and ways of knowing in their classroom instruction. At the conclusion of the institute, the educators will produce curriculum materials to be shared on the NAU Institute for Native-Serving Educators website.
