This is a recording of Anton Treuer speaking to the HSPP Early Education Cohort students at White Earth Tribal & Community College. It is the first in a two-part program for the cohort.

Racially predictable disparities persist in our schools across the country in spite of decades of concerted effort to combat them. If greater effort hasn't yielded the result we all want to see, maybe it's time for a different approach. Join celebrated racial equity educator and Indigenous scholar Anton Treuer for a deep dive into new tools for your classroom, school, and system. The tenor of racial reckoning is full of hope, though rarely comfortable. Let's lean in together to examine how we all do better when we all do better and make that mission a reality. Focus for this session is on schools and programs that seek to foster the positive identity development of Indigenous children and the importance of language and culture in the classroom.
