Native American Homeschoolers

If our children do not learn the old ways, it is because we have failed to teach them.

I am sorry to say, but it seems that all Native American homeschool associations and support group sites have closed down. Some programs and curriculum resources remain. If you personally know of any active Native American homeschool groups, please post in the comments section below. Do look for local Native American and People of Color support groups in the regional support groups lists on this site.

Programs

“We send our little Indian boys and girls to school, and when they come back talking English, they come back swearing. There is no swear word in the Indian languages, and I haven’t yet learned to swear.”
Gertrude S. Bonnin (Zitkala-Sa) – Yankton Sioux

Alaska Native Knowledge Network
It has been established to assist Native people, government agencies, educators and the general public in gaining access to the knowledge base that Alaska Natives have acquired through cumulative experience over millennia.

Indigenous Homeschoolers
A community for Indigenous homeschoolers to share idea’s and find support. This group welcomes all, including settler allies who want to learn how to be more inclusive and decolonize their own homeschooling.

Native Child Curriculum
What sets Native Child curriculum material apart is quality and durability of material, attention to detail and beautiful images that make teaching and learning fun for both students and teachers. And of course, it is all bilingual, Diné and English!

Keepers of the Children: Native American Wisdom and Parenting

by Laura M. Ramirez
“Keepers of the Children” (subtitle: Native American Wisdom and Parenting) uses little known Native American secrets to teach parents how to raise children who know their nature and use their strengths to create lives of meaning and contribution. By raising children to unfold the uniqueness in their hearts, parents touch the depths of their own. By teaching children the secrets of genuine fulfillment, they grow up to lead purposeful lives and cherish their parents for this gift. (“Keepers of the Children” is the first in a trilogy of parenting books.)
