Transforming Education


The National Museum of the American Indian’s education initiative Native Knowledge 360° (NK360°) offers educators free, bilingual, easy-to-use resources that engage students and challenges them to rethink their assumptions about Native peoples. NK360° provides views of not only Native cultures in the past but also the vibrant lives of Native peoples today.


NK360° inspires students to find out about: • Native contemporary and traditional cultures


• Native peoples’ roles in history


• Native peoples’ contributions to the arts, sciences and literature


• and much more! Photos by Richard Walker (top) and Matailong Du
