The National Indian Education Association reports demand for accurate resources. Research confirms students who learn complex history develop stronger critical thinking. The Pequot are already raising funds to host 36 more teachers next summer, proving Indigenous commitment outlasts political change

A National Congress of American Indians report shows most states fail to adequately teach Indigenous histories. Curriculum often stops at 1900, erasing modern Native existence. This gap persists as states like Oklahoma review their educational standards in an attempt to widen the divide further.

The Pequot refused to let its teacher institute end. Using its own funds and community partnerships, the Nation hosted 36 educators in July. Educators examined primary sources and learned directly from Pequot instructors in its territory.

The distraction pulls focus away from the source of the struggle.

This "chilling effect" is the point.

If a corporation can do this to Greenpeace, what chance do smaller groups have? It's a threat to public participation and environmental justice everywhere.
