Native American | Alaskan Native Education

WELCOME

Native American | Alaskan Native Education serves Indigenous students in our district from over 80 federally recognized tribes, 29 of them from Washington State alone. Our program provides services like tutoring/homework assistance, field trips, and cultural summer camps, and employs a full-time Support Specialist who assists students and families. The South Kitsap Indian Parent Advisory Council (S.K.I.P.A.C.) is staffed by parent, teacher, and student volunteers and engages in advising and promoting our programs, and planning a variety of activities for students and their families throughout the year.

Our program is primarily funded by a federal Title VI grant based on tribal enrollment. If your student is the member of a federally recognized tribe, or has a parent or grandparent who is a tribal member, please fill out and return the Title VI enrollment form below so we can continue to provide these important resources and opportunities to our Native youth.
