In-class discussions will be supplemented with readings, film screenings, and field trips in order to give participants an understanding of the lives of Native people and their story over time. The class will be very open and tailored to students’ wants and needs in order to allow students to bring up issues they are interested in and to also learn from each other.

I am tutoring at the NACC every Monday night from 8pm-10pm and I would love to publicize my hours as much as possible in order to drum up awareness of the drop-in location and (hopefully) business!
I have been added to the Native email list and was also thinking about putting up a few signs around the NACC to improve communication with students!
If there are any additional ways you can think of to publicize my hours, I would be extremely grateful. Thanks again, Katie
