Having lived through genocide and horrific suffering, the aftermath of European contact and colonization continues to not only haunt Native Americans, it wreaks havoc in their everyday lives.

  • Fewer Kids, Less Money: How the Pandemic Puts Districts in a Bind

    Sep 21, 2020

    Administrators in Anchorage, Alaska, cranked up the volume on their annual back-to-school campaign a few weeks ago when, after scanning district attendance rolls, they realized they were more than 4,000 students off from their projected enrollment. District leaders appeared on the nightly newscasts and the morning radio shows, they extended in-person registration into the weekend, called parents of kids who were MIA, and then dispatched teachers to start knocking on students’ doors. For every kid who shows up for class this month and next, t...

Stamper works as a teacher's assistant for special education students in the Washington, D.C., public schools.

Her husband works outside the home at a golf course. Stamper says her older son can't sit still for...

    Sep 21, 2020

Her daughter, a fifth grader who attends a school that serves students with severe disabilities, has cerebral palsy, which limits her motor skills.

  • More Navajo Nation schools could reopen as virus wanes

    Sep 21, 2020

    SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) – Colton Holian’s dog didn’t eat his homework, the Wi-Fi did. “Half of my assignments go but the other half don’t,” says Holian, 13, who has been virtually attending Navajo Nation’s Tohatchi Middle School for the past month. Holian loves school, especially math, and was getting As and Bs last year. Now his teachers tell his grandmother that he’s getting Cs and Ds. He’s at risk of failing physical education which, like all of his classes, are taught online. https://www.krqe.com/health/coronavirus-new-mexic...

    Sep 21, 2020

    (CNN) - Children and teens from minority groups are disproportionately hit by coronavirus, just as older adults are, according to the findings of a new report from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Children from ethnic and racial minorities, those with underlying health conditions and those between the ages of 18 and 20 are more likely to die, a CDC-led research team wrote in a study published Tuesday in the agency's Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report. The report also showed just how unusual it is for children and young...
