In a recent development that has sent shockwaves through our community, Gov Noem has again targeted Native education, sparking outrage & concern amongst advocates for educational equity. This attack is not just an isolated incident but part of a concerning pattern of behavior.

Deb Haaland is not just a leader; she is a beacon of hope and resilience for Indigenous communities everywhere. It’s an honor to stand in solidarity and share space with her in the ongoing fight for justice and equality.

At the heart of the South Dakota Education Equity Coalition (SDEEC) lies a dream—a vision where every Indigenous youth in South Dakota is empowered to thrive in educational environments that celebrate diversity, equity, and inclusivity. sdeducationequity.org/about

Education justice is vital in South Dakota. Disparities limit quality education for Indigenous students. We must advocate for equitable resources, culturally relevant curricula, and supportive environments. Let's help Indigenous youth thrive!

From a 2019 spark to today's powerful coalition, #SDEEC's journey inspires. Celebrating our 4th North Star Retreat last week, we've transformed challenges into opportunities for educational equity in South Dakota. Watch our recap to see our progress!

We're still riding high from the incredible energy and inspiring moments at this year's North Star Retreat! From engaging workshops to heartfelt storytelling, every moment was a step forward in our journey towards education equity.

Together, we’re paving the way for Oceti Sakowin education in SD's curriculum. Our goal is clear: to foster a future where cultural understanding & inclusion are at the heart of learning. Join us in this vital journey to empower students with the heritage & history they deserve.

We're committed to introducing Indigenous students to civic leadership roles in local, state, and tribal governments. Let’s empower our youth to lead and make an impact! Join us!
