The conference aims to assist teachers of tribal youth but is open to everyone as many sessions address issues beyond the classroom. It is not just for teachers nor tribal members. We welcome anyone interested in learning more about our Northern Arapaho and Eastern Shoshone friends, and in learning best classroom practices and other activities that will help all students. We will also screen two Wyoming-produced films: "Generation Warrior" and "Before Wyoming: The West in 1776." Keynote speakers are Rose Ann Abrahamson, great-great-great niece of Sacajawea, and Dr. Jason Cummins, author of the book "Humanized Education."
