About the Training
Led by UNL Tribal Extension Educator, Ted Hibbeler (Lakota), this model utilizes the Lakota medicine wheel symbol to emphasize the four directions that will be discussed in this training. Participants will enter the medicine wheel from the east to learn about the Indigenous assessment model, and then they will travel to the south direction to discuss Indigenous worldviews. Next, they will travel to the west direction to learn about the history of tribal relations with the United States, and then they will travel to the north direction to learn how to collaborate with the UNL Tribal Extension Office to create relationships with tribal communities in Nebraska.
This training is limited to 25 participants. Participants must attend all four dates to receive a certificate of completion. Registration is required.
