The Sapsik’ʷałá Library is a resource for all current Sapsik’ʷałá students as well as former students and others in the University community with ties to Indigenous Education. Our library features literature that honor and respect Indigenous, Native American, and Tribal communities’ cultural ways of knowing, philosophies, and pedagogies. The Sapsik’ʷałá resource library features a multitude of fiction, non-fiction, autobiographical and historical accounts as well as contemporary Indigenous scholarship, curricula, and UOTeach/EDST resources to support the learning of Sapsik’ʷałá educators.
