In an effort to fulfill requests for ongoing information and training with the Since Time Immemorial Tribal Sovereignty Curriculum as well as implementation supporting district continuous learning, our Office of Native Education, in collaboration with the NWESD, we will be offering a 90-minute webinars on May 6, 2020 to:

  1. Provide an introduction to the curriculum;
  2. Navigate the Since Time Immemorial (STI) website; and

Offer information about additional resources to assist educators as you infuse this curriculum into your lessons.


Did you know…

Effective July 24, 2015 with the passage of Senate Bill 5433, school districts are required to incorporate lessons about the history, culture and government of the nearest federally recognized Indian Tribe(s) when the district reviews or adopts its social studies curriculum (RCW 28A.320.170). School districts shall collaborate with OSPI on curricular areas regarding tribal government and history that are statewide in nature such as the concept of tribal sovereignty and the history of federal policy towards federally recognized Indian Tribes. School districts shall meet these requirements by using the “Since Time Immemorial” Tribal Sovereignty online curriculum and may modify this curriculum in order to incorporate elements that have a regionally specific focus or to incorporate the curriculum into existing curricular materials.
