We provide various professional development opportunities for educators to learn more about teaching and writing Native cases. Our focus is on teaching and writing cases from a Native point of view on issues important to contemporary Native people and communities. The approach is interdisciplinary with an emphasis on pedagogical strategies for using cases with collaborative learning and in both face-to-face and online classes.

To learn more about teaching with cases, see the articles listed below.

We are especially interested in publishing short articles about teaching cases with Native students. If you'd like to contribute an article for consideration, email your manuscript to Barbara Leigh Smith at smithb@evergreen.edu.

Articles on Teaching with Cases:

The Enduring Legacies Native Cases Project aims to develop teaching resources and culturally relevant curriculum in the form of case studies on key issues in Indian country. Key topics have been identified by Native leaders through a delphi process of brainstorming and prioritizing key issues affecting Native Americans. Our partners in developing and using these cases are Northwest Indian College, Salish Kootenai College, and Grays Harbor College. The cases have been very well received by our students! We welcome you to use our cases and tell us how they worked for you.

Since our cases are interdisciplinary, they are often listed under multiple academic disciplines.
