Woodland Indian Educational Programs

Woodland Indian Educational Programs is a Native-run educational service that focuses on Eastern Woodlands Indigenous cultures. The group designs programs for museums, historic sites, schools, powwows, and cultural centers, often using living-history-style demonstrations to teach about housing, clothing, tools, agriculture, and diplomacy. Presenters bring maps, material-culture displays, and carefully researched outfits, and they also offer staff trainings for teachers and docents. The goal is to replace stereotypes and generic “Native American” lessons with tribally grounded information and to show that Woodlands Nations have complex, ongoing histories and present-day communities, not just a distant past.
