We were proud to serve as advisors to the The PMA's brilliant reinterpretation of their second floor called #PassagesInAmericanArt Multivocal, multifaceted.....there's too much goodness to show in a social media post. We highly recommend a visit!

Since we formed in 2018, Akomawt Educational Initiative has sponsored the award for Outstanding Entry in Native American History for CT History Day. Each year we are rewarded with brilliant students going above and beyond to learn and then teach Native histories in CT 👏

"“Museums in the Northeast are asking these really critical questions about, what is my role going forward? Are we enabling and empowering settler-colonial ideals in the way that we steward and also interpret our Indigenous collections?” said Spears" pressherald.com/2023/06/04/por…

In honor of the Native folks who gave testimony to get #ICWA passed in 1978, our friends at @UpstanderProj are streaming @DawnlandMovie for free through July 16!

Did you know Akomawt Educational Initiative is in the thick of helping design a $100 million dollar expansion to the The PMA with LEVER Architecture? Co-founder @Noodlz2020 gives his experiences with the team and excitement for a potential new sustainable industry for the state of Maine.

When teaching American westward expansion sometimes we leave out some harsh realities. But sanitizing them out of the story doesn't mean they didn't happen. The frontier thesis is a good example. We offer this perspective from the past Leventhal Map & Education Center at the BPL exhibit America Transformed.

We haven't been all together in-person since 2019. Somehow we managed to keep Akomawt Educational Initiative thriving and continue to grow. Full circle that it was at the Pequot Museum 25th Anniversary Gala #Akomawt #Snowshoepath #Makingnewpaths instagram.com/p/Cv3r5pnMZpA/…
