This year’s event comes at a critical time. We are more than a year into a pandemic that upset a status quo that was already failing so many, and the emergence of a new future appears ever closer. We must learn from this disruption—find opportunity in it—and recognize the harm and trauma it brought. Our path forward must be one of healing.

Through student performances, keynote speakers, virtual school tours, breakout sessions, and more we’ll explore how schools can see us—students, families, communities, educators—for who we are and help us move toward a more equitable, student-centered future.

Join us to build momentum and capacity for student-centered learning across Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota, and the 23 Native nations that share the same geography.

Registration open April 7.
