With this in mind, we have started the Native American Home School Association which will seek to provide Native American Homeschoolers with the BEST possible educational sources and connections not only for helping parents teach at home, but also to protect their right to do so. We believe that our Native American languages, religion, history, songs, dances, stories, and crafts are just as important to us and our children as a knowledge of science, math, English, and the other things which are also important.
