Ann Arbor Schools 99D

Title: Ann Arbor Schools 99D
About the Creator: Ann Arbor Public Schools

The Michigan Indigenous Histories, and Cultures Project was a comprehensive initiative in Ann Arbor Public Schools designed to enhance educator capacity for teaching Indigenous history and culture. The project featured a year-long teacher learning cohort that engaged in professional development, including place-based learning trips to significant Indigenous sites. Beyond teacher training, the initiative provided numerous Native-authored books to school libraries and classrooms and hosted a public "Native Artists Series" to engage the broader community. The project culminated in an educational summit featuring New York Times bestselling author Angeline Boulley and established long-term partnerships to sustain Indigenous-centered curriculum development.
