NEW: A report released this week called Pathways to Education Sovereignty is the product of Indigenous educators, experts & students sharing their life experiences & struggle navigating through an education system designed for them by others. https://nabpi.unm.edu/assets/documents/tea-full-report_12-14-20.pdf #nmleg #nmpol
In response to #NewMexico’s education crisis, the report examines 3 strategic solutions put forward in the Tribal Remedy Framework, aligned w/ the findings in the #YazzieMartinez court ruling & endorsed by all 23 sovereign Nations, Tribes & Pueblos in #NM. https://nabpi.unm.edu/assets/documents/tea-full-report_12-14-20.pdf
The systemic failure of the education system has been well documented over many decades. A fundamental cause lies in a history of institutional racism & an ongoing violation of children’s civil rights. ALL children in #NewMexico have been hurt by this in one form or another.
It's shown by our state’s bottom ranking in academic achievement, & in our unbelievably high ranking in poverty, hunger, health disparities & youth suicide. This report blends the voices of our tribal community w/ evidence produced by decades of research. https://nabpi.unm.edu/assets/documents/tea-full-report_12-14-20.pdf
