Huchoosedah Indian Education is a federally
funded program that assists Native American, Alaskan Native, and
American Indian students in Seattle Public Schools in grades K-12.
We believe that the academic success of Native students is grounded
in a strong sense of cultural identity and belonging.
To assist all Native students in becoming
academically successful, we provide services that
include:
- After school services
- Academic tutoring
- Mentoring
- Coordination of home and school
needs
- Student advocacy
- Cultural events
- College preparatory services
We also believe that in order to be effective in
working with Native students, school district staff and teachers
need to understand the accurate history of Native peoples and their
unique relationship to the federal government. To accomplish this
we:
- Provide professional development
- Model culturally relevant learning and teaching
as it relates to Native learners
Huchoosedah offers opportunities for Native
students and families to create community. This is done in part
through our extensive partnerships with Native community based
organizations.
