(By:  North Dakota Monitor) – Revised textbooks on the five Native American tribes that share land with North Dakota will be ready in time for next school year.

For about three decades, the books went without updates due to a lack of funding, said Lucy Fredericks, director of Indian and multicultural education for the North Dakota Department of Public Instruction.

In 2023, the agency began work on editing the books with the help of federal grant money.

The revision process was a joint effort among the Department of Public Instruction, the five tribes, higher education institutions across the state and other educational and cultural organizations.
