Working to Heal Historical Trauma in Sitka’s Education System
Since 2009, the Sitka School District, Sitka Tribe of Alaska, and the Sitka Native Education Program have been working together, Wooch.een, to heal historical trauma resulting from the education system imposed on Sitka’s Native community. To begin and continue this healing, we work together to integrate Tlingit culture and values in Sitka’s education system.
