Across Lands and Waters is the first book to offer a vision for the future of Indigenous education in the United States-a rich tapestry of ideas, frameworks, and dreams for teachers and educators grappling with how to educate and inspire the nation's native students. The result of a unique, years-long collaboration among the leading experts and practitioners in the field. Across Lands and Waters was developed as an urgent resource for classrooms and other educational settings in every state and tribal nation.

Offering a deep well of stories and perspectives from different Indigenous traditions, the contributors examine why we educate, what the role of schools can be in overcoming racist and colonial legacies, and how to envision a radically different future. They also discuss such crucial topics as how a colonial system of education erases Indigenous realities, the vital importance of reclaiming indigenous languages, the varied experiences of indigenous peoples, and the crucial contributions of traditional ways of being and knowing.

Graced with original full-color cover artwork by the celebrated artist Maria Hupfield and contributions by Pulitzer Prize-winning poet Natalie Diaz, Across Lands and Waters is a groundbreaking project that will serve as a beacon of inspiration and hope for teachers everywhere.
