US EditionThomas King’s revelation he is not Indigenous sends ripples through culture sector
Dallas ISD's program supports Indigenous students with monthly mobile libraries, cultural trips, and a first Native senior graduation to restore tribal connections.
- Tana Takes Horse, leader of Dallas ISD's American Indian Education Program, is helping Indigenous students rediscover their heritage as the program gains district support.
- The Indian Relocation Act of 1956 displaced Native families to West Dallas, causing multigenerational disconnection that left many students in Dallas ISD unable to name their tribal origins.
- Monthly outreach and tailored events supply cultural and educational resources, including a Native Book Club, a mobile library distributing Native-authored books, cultural field trips to reservations in nearby Oklahoma, college fairs, and a Native senior graduation ceremony.
- The initiative strengthens family connections by engaging parents and students, giving parents and Native families in Dallas ISD chances to teach tribal history while Takes Horse's children participate in AIEP events.
- Many Dallas residents remain unaware the city has had a Native community for more than 70 years, while Tana Takes Horse, identified as Crow, Chickasaw, Choctaw, Chippewa and Hidatsa, brings multi-tribal representation to AIEP.
