Professional development to engage educators in ecological restoration and water stewardship rooted in Indigenous knowledge. Community members, college students, scientists, natural resource specialists, and K-16 teachers are welcome!

Earth Partnership Indigenous Arts and Sciences (IAS) seeks to:

• Bring people together interested in linking environmental and health concerns to academic achievement in science, math, social studies, language and the arts. • Integrate Indigenous perspectives and experience with Earth Partnership’s ecological restoration education programs.
• Partner with communities to broaden participation and generate enthusiasm among Native youth to become the next generation of environmental stewards.
• Address the needs of K-12 educators for culturally accurate and authentic resources across the curriculum to fulfill Act 31 requirements (institute includes pathway to remove Act 31 license stipulation).
