PORT ANGELES, Wash. (AP) - While a growing number of states are encouraging schools to weave American Indian history and culture into their curriculum, Washington is 1 of a handful that requires it.
Its state education office has created an extensive online library of information about local and regional tribes to help make that happen.
Similar resources have been created by other states, including Montana, Wisconsin, Arizona, New Mexico, Oklahoma and South Dakota.
The efforts are designed to recognize Native American history as an important element of state and local history, and to offer teachers a way to localize and enliven their American history classes
