It provides information on the Since Time Immemorial curriculum that was mandated in 2015 as needing to be taught in our schools with the goal of teaching from a place of inclusion regarding Tribal sovereignty in Washington state.

Something to Think About...
The victims of the Osage "Reign of Terror" during the 1920s are calling out for justice. How their stories are being retold today through print and film.
Our most recent "Spotlight" issue discusses the Osage "Reign of Terror" that took place in the early 1920s. When oil was discovered beneath the Osage reservation tribal members became overnight millionaires as well as targets for their wealth. The release of Killers of the Flower Moon by David Grann as well as a film of the same name has brought the Osage' need for justice back into the media.
The following PBS short film gives a historical overview of what happened to the Osage.“The Osage Murders” is a historical documentary focusing on the events that occurred on the Osage reservation in the 1920s.
