‘Hill Day’ advocates Native education
In a few days tribal lead-
ers, educators, students,
community members and
advocates will travel from
rural and urban areas to the
U.S. Capitol. They will speak
with legislators about the
educational needs of Native
students.
This year the National
Indian Education Associa-
tion (NIEA) announces that
‘Hill Day’ attendees will hear
directly from four members
of Congress: Rep. Kurt
Schrader and Rep. Suzanne
Bonamici, both of Oregon;
and the first two Native
women elected to the U.S.
Congress: Rep. Sharice
Davids of Kansas, and Rep.
Deb Haaland of New
Mexico.
“NIEA is honored by the
tremendous support demon-
strated by Congressional
members
Schrader,
Haaland, Bonamici and
Davids. NIEA appreciates
their commitment to ad-
dress critical education
needs for underserved com-
munities,” said Diana
Cournoyer, NIEA executive
director.
NIEA, was just awarded
$25,000 from the nonprofit
educational assessment and
research organization, ETS.
The funding will support ad-
vocacy training on key issues
related to Native education,
culture and language.
Based in Washington DC,
‘Hill Day,’ is an immersive
legislative experience that
creates dialogue and honest
testimony regarding the sta-
tus of Native education.
NIEA and partner organi-
zations will share impactful
narratives with federal lead-
ership. Sessions provide at-
tendees with valuable tools
for effective advocacy dur-
ing meetings with legislators
prearranged and guided by
NIEA legislative staff.
Opportunities for net-
working have expanded to
include an exclusive recep-
tion co-hosted by NIEA and
the American Indian Higher
Education Consortium.
