The Education Department facilitates the education of the entire Tribal community from pre-kindergarten to adult. Programs include after-school tutoring, summer enrichment programs, adult high school and GED preparation, college and vocational training, career development and technical skill acquisition. The Education Department communicates and collaborates with students, parents, outside educational agencies and health services, and also encourages family and community involvement in the education of their children. We also promote cultural awareness and activities to connect the past to the present.
