“Teach Our Children Our Stories”: Consider PSU to start teaching career PORTLAND, Ore. – The Portland State University Graduate School of Edu- cation has received a $873,113 grant from the U.S. Department of Education Office of Indian Education (OIE) to recruit and prepare American Indian students for teaching licensure and master’s degrees over the next four years. This is the third OIE professional development grant received by Portland State University (PSU) in six years. The first award, received in 2010, established the American Indian Teacher Preparation program (AITP). “I am elated,” said Project Director Maria Tenorio. “I think this grant will help us sustain a lot of the work we want to continue with Oregon Tribes – in fact, some of our first teachers are now ready to accept student teachers!” PSU is the largest school of education in the state and the Portland-metro area has the largest American Indian popula- tion in Oregon, yet very few American Nesika Illahee Pow-Wow Culture Craft Nights Attention Siletz Tribal Artists Royalty Crown Proposals The 2017 Nesika Illahee Pow-Wow Committee is once again having a logo con- test for the upcoming pow-wow in August 2017.
