NACA Inspired Schools Network: The Growing Together Fellowship

Entrepreneur: Anpao Duta Flying Earth

Founded: 2015

NISN is building a movement of students, families, and educators to create excellent schools relevant to the communities they serve. NISN works with fellows who are committed to Indigenous communities to establish schools in New Mexico and throughout the country that will create strong leaders who are academically prepared, secure in their identities, healthy, and ultimately transforming their communities. The current NISN network is working with communities in New Mexico, Colorado, California, South Dakota, and Minnesota. The Growing Together Fellowship will bring together Indigenous school leaders to stimulate a communal reimagining of what visionary leadership and a holistic, culturally integrated education might look like for all historically marginalized students.
