This pre-recorded virtual event from the American Montessori Association asks why Indigenous voices are often left out of the conversation in classrooms and shares concrete actions and vocabulary that educators can take in the classroom to not be complicit in the erasure of the Indigenous people of Turtle Island (The United States).
This webinar is led by Trisha Moquino, who is the Co-Founder/Education Director/Guide at Keres Children’s Learning Center (KCLC) which serves Cochiti Pueblo. She is from the Tribal/Pueblo communities of Cochiti, Kewa, and Ohkay Ohwingeh in New Mexico. Trisha completed her Montessori Elementary I certification at the Montessori Education Center of the Rockies and her Primary training with United Montessori Association. Her master’s thesis laid out the vision for what would eventually become the KCLC. Her daughters were her inspiration for wanting to start KCLC.
