This day-long workshop will have in depth presentation and discussions regarding Wisconsin American Indian Studies or Act 31 (1989/1991).

The workshop is designed to provide participants with the knowledge and information they need to integrate the requirements of Act 31 into lesson plans, material selections, pedagogical practices, and districts curriculum. Information about Wisconsin American Indian nation’s histories, treaty rights, sovereignty, and cultures will be presented throughout the workshop.
