South Dakota schools must now teach students about tribal history, culture, and government using course materials developed by the state Department of Education. Schools can adapt these materials to fit their region or blend them into existing classes, and are encouraged to work with nearby tribes to improve the instruction and create cultural exchange programs between classrooms and communities.
