    The Native American Initiative is part of the School Violence Prevention Demonstration Program.

    The Native American Initiative is an outreach effort developed from the School Violence Prevention Demonstration Program. To date, nineteen Native American tribes have participated in the program:

    Apache Aleut Alutiq
    Choctaw Haida Inupiaq
    Isleta Jemez Lac Courte Oreilles Ojibwe
    Lakota Sioux Native Hawaii Navajo
    Ohkay Owingeh Santa Clara Pueblo Santa Fe Pueblo
    Tlingit Tsimshian Yupik
     Zia Pueblo    


    During the school year, training sessions are provided for the teachers at the individual sites to support the teaching of the curricular materials.

    Expansion efforts include:

  • recruitment of additional Native American sites
  • opportunities for Native American teachers and administrators to review and revise the Center's curricular materials to enhance   culturally appropriate strategies and content
  • outreach to Native American and other teachers to enlist their participation in professional development institutes and trainings
  • The Native American Initiative will foster a relationship with the National Indian Education Association to promote civic education for democracy.

    Maria Gallo is the Program Director of the School Violence Prevention Demonstration Program. Please contact the Center for additional information about the program.
