Call for Presenters

The Washington State Indian Education Association (WSIEA) Board invites presenters to share their experience and knowledge with educators, students, and administrators at our 40th Annual WSIEA Conference being held April 1-3, 2025, at the Northern Quest Casino

 Presentations should be positive, motivating, and informative.  We wish to increase the conference participant’s knowledge, skills, and experience as it relates to Indian education, Native youth empowerment, community involvement, and Indian self-determination. Please indicate if your workshop proposals could fit into one of the following tracks- Early Education/Preschool, K-12 education, or Higher Education. 

 Our tentative plan at this time is to hold concurrent workshop sessions (90 minutes each) Wednesday (PM) and Thursday (AM and PM).  Please complete an outline of your presentation using the google form.  For additional information or clarification please contact our board members coordinating our workshops.
