2023-2024 Global Fellows Program
We’re Still Here: Exploring Indigenous Cultures
There are over 476 million Indigenous people living in over 5,000 distinct groups in 90 countries across the world (United Nations). North Carolina alone is home to one of the largest American Indian populations east of the Mississippi River and includes eight state-recognized tribes and four urban Indian organizations. Indigenous peoples represent distinct social, cultural, and political groups worldwide that share overlapping challenges that threaten the protection of their rights, their lands, and their well-being as distinct peoples and polities.
The UNC World View Fellows Program, We’re Still Here: Exploring Indigenous Cultures was an intensive, eight-month interdisciplinary professional learning opportunity that deepened educators’ understanding of the culture, history, and contemporary life of Indigenous communities in North Carolina and throughout the world.
The 2023-2024 UNC World View Fellows gained a deeper understanding of global Indigeneity the complexities of Indigenous identity and life by attending in-person and virtual programming, engaging in curriculum support sessions and peer discussions, and completing a series of tasks, including the creation of a lesson plan. The lessons presented on this website were developed as part of the 2023-2024 UNC World View Fellows Program, We’re Still Here: Exploring Indigenous Cultures.
