INTRODUCTION

The importance of this curriculum and teaching model extends beyond the classroom and school walls. It serves as a means to pass on traditional knowledge to students, forming a strong working partnership between the school and community in understanding and solving environmental and health issues that confront the Village. This curriculum is designed to be used, adjusted or adapted in order to meet the individual needs of Villages and schools outside the grant area. School districts, schools, and teachers must interface and work with Tribal Councils, Elders, and community members in order to use the information and lessons contained herein.
