The Bothell area is full of Native American history and there are still tribes who live here today. And now, the UW-Bothell is working with local Native American tribes to make sure that the history is not forgotten.
The Tribal Education Network is working with the University and 24 Northwest Indian tribes to create “tribal” academic lessons for high school students. The program aims to help guide more Native American students toward college.
According to the Seattle Times:
Two dozen Northwest Indian tribes are working with the University of Washington, Bothell to create tribal-centered academic lessons for high-school students.
The Tribal Education Network initiative will work to integrate tribal stories and values in a program that aims to get more Native American students to college, and to help them earn college credentials while in high school.
“We long for people who are traditionally oriented because of their upbringing, yet who are excellent as scholars,” said Jim Thomas, chairman of a committee for the Affiliated Tribes of Northwest Indians and a member of the Tlingit Tribe of Southeastern Alaska.
