Indigenous Education: Honoring Ancient Ways of Learning
Miranda Stamper, citizen and educator from the Eastern Band of the Cherokee Indians, will discuss culture and education.
Quote from The One Feather: “I believe it is very important for our girls to understand the importance of who they are, Cherokee,” said Miranda Stamper, a member of the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians (EBCI). “With that comes gathering of wild foods, fishing, and gardening – understanding why they used what they used for footwear, jewelry, and cookware. Before, we had to find time for these things between sports, school, and other athletic events. We hardly had time. Now, we do these things daily.”
