Help Us Get American Indian/Native Studies Back on Track in Texas
After months of delay, Texas SBOE finally renewed a high school level American Indian/Native Studies course. The course is an elective meant for 10-12th graders.

Please personalize both the email subject and text, and add your own reasons for supporting the course. #NativeStudiesNow #HonorNativeKnowledge
