Dr. Taylor is Associate Professor of Education at the University of Mary, and a former middle school teacher, who contributed to our NEH Summer Institute 2019 in Bismarck, sharing information about how tribes educate their youth in Native histories, with a focus on the Oceti Sakowin Camp schools on the Standing Rock Reservation. He was a participant-observer relative to the Oceti Sakowin protest camp, near the Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL), from August 2016 to late February 2017. Tens of thousands of people came to an encampment near the Standing Rock Reservation to protest the installation of an oil pipeline that threatened the environment (and still does).
