tribal school
Native community school
A tribal school is a school established and operated by a Native American tribe, typically on reservation land.
These schools are governed by tribal authorities rather than state or local school districts, often incorporating indigenous language, culture, and history into their curriculum alongside standard academics.
Funding usually comes from federal sources through the Bureau of Indian Education, though tribes may supplement with their own resources.
