Chickasaw Nation

The Chickasaw Nation will partner with the First Americans Museum in Oklahoma City, OK to develop a publicly accessible online template that will provide K-12 educators with a centralized resource for educational curriculum informed by Oklahoman Tribal nations. Project funds will support a digital strategy consultant who will conduct a requirements review, gather and inventory assets, and develop information architecture, as well as a full-time project coordinator who will engage with diverse stakeholders to collaborate on the creation of a comprehensive plan for the implementation of the educator resource. The project will strengthen professional relationships amongst Tribal nations and educators in Oklahoma and will increase Tribal capacity to provide interactive educational materials online, ensuring the histories and cultures of Oklahoma’s Tribes are accurately portrayed, respected, and shared in the classroom.
