Oka Kapassa Native American Festival

Special Summer Workshop for Teachers

Calling all teachers! Join us on Tuesday, July 22, 2025 from 8:30 a.m.-3:30 p.m for a continuing education opportunity presented by Oka Kapassa Festival as part of UNA’s Inservice Program. In this workshop we will review AL Course of Study for Native American Standards (Grades 3,4 and 5); provide resources and activities related to the Standards and other Cultural Information; and take a visit to the Wichahpi Commemorative Stone Wall in Lauderdale County. All presenters are of Native American descent and have extensive experience in teaching authentic information related to Alabama’s First People. Local workshop attendees will be eligible to have Native American demonstrators/performers visit their schools during the Oka Kapassa Festival in September 2025.
