New Pomo-focused curriculum in Lake County

Pomo tribal leaders partnered with the Lake County Office of Education, in Northern California, to develop new curriculum based on Pomo culture and history, according to The Press Democrat. The lesson plans include math and science concepts based on woven basket patterns and a fish that has historically been used by the Pomo people, as well as Pomo language lessons. About 4% of Lake County’s students are Native American. The project aims to help Native American students see themselves represented in school, which the leaders hope will encourage more of them to attend school on a regular basis and graduate high school at higher rates.
