A Focus on the Emotional-Psychological-Physical needs of the Child
It is our responsibility as American Indian parents and educators to develop education settings (formal and informal) where the focus is not entirely on academics but also on the emotional, psychological, and physical needs of our children. This year we offer information on those areas.
The 2023 Lakota Nations Education Conference was a success.
We appreciate all the participation
from the attendees and the presenters.
Wopila!!
