Abstract: 

Indigenous students make up just 1.1% of the population in Wisconsin public schools, allowing educators to overlook their unique learning experiences. Indigenous students’ complex historical relationships with schooling and current racist systemic structures have widened achievement gaps. Teachers must be more sustaining of Indigenous cultures and incorporate shared values to meet the needs of all students.
