Join fellow educators for a meaningful day of learning and reflection inspired by our fall exhibition, An Indigenous Present. Through interactive activities, thoughtful discussions, and guided exploration of the museum galleries, discover ways to bring authentic, inclusive narratives into your teaching about Native American culture and contemporary life.

In the morning, Upstander Project will introduce foundational concepts for teaching about Indigenous peoples. The afternoon will include a curator-led exhibition tour, featuring works by 15 Native North American artists whose practices span the past century and offer rich insights into historical and contemporary Indigenous experiences.

Registration includes breakfast, ICA tote, exhibition poster, and curriculum materials.

This workshop is suitable for K-12 educators of all disciplines, pre-service teachers, school administrators, and informal educators.

Tickets non-refundable after October 1
