The Native American and Hmong Indigenous Education Symposium, happening from April 7-10, offers a unique opportunity for educators, advocates, and community leaders to explore Indigenous educational practices and deepen their understanding of Native American and Hmong cultures. Hosted by Widening the Circle, the event serves as a platform to build relationships, identify bias, and create more inclusive and meaningful curricula.
