Trailer: Indigenous Education

Written and directed by Aracely "Arcie" Chapa.
This Indigenous Education film focuses on the impact of the Yazzie/Martinez consolidated case ruling and demonstrates strengths in tribal education and language revitalization practices. The film will include stories from American Indian educators and their experiences teaching and learning in the Southwest.
As a result of Research and Public Service Project (RPSP) funding from the state of New Mexico, the Center of Regional Studies, the Department of Native American Studies, and the Institute for American Indian Education came together to form the University of New Mexico’s “Native Curriculum Partnership” (NCP).
NCP collaborated with local tribal leaders, Native educators, and community consultants to initiate the process of creating Indigenous film and curriculum materials for K-12 students in New Mexico. The complete film is scheduled to be released in 2025.
