The Obama administration is committed to the needs of Indian Country and to the education of Native American youth. U.S. Department of Education (ED) Secretary Arne Duncan has made it a priority to strengthen opportunities and outcomes for all students, including Native American students. As a result of the secretary's commitment to Native youth and ED's consultations and listening sessions with tribal leaders and tribal communities, the White House Initiative on American Indian and Alaska Native Education (WHIAIANE or initiative) and ED's Office for Civil Rights (OCR) began a series of listening sessions to hear directly from Native youth, parents, school officials, and tribal communities regarding school environments -- the first nationwide effort of its kind. This report presents the first-ever tribal listening tour to hear from schools and communities on ways to better meet the unique educational and culturally related academic needs of Native American students. Each section of the report includes a brief description of a common theme found across listening sessions followed by supporting data and testimonies from youths, parents, teachers, and others affected by these issues. The report also includes recommendations from the participants.
