 ) webinar to learn about approaches to integrating Native language and cul
 ture into tribal early childhood programs. Evidence shows that tribal earl
 y childhood development programs are likely to be more effective\, and yie
 ld additional benefits\, when they integrate their community’s culture\, l
 anguage\, and values. Connection to language\, culture\, and their Native 
 identity supports American Indian and Alaska Native children’s learning an
 d development and promotes protective factors in young children and their 
 families. Culturally grounded approaches that incorporate language teachin
 g\, traditions\, and participation in cultural events are therefore a crit
 ical component of high-quality tribal early childhood programs and a found
 ation of educational sovereignty for tribal nations. There are many approa
 ches to integration of Native language and culture\, including cultural ad
 aptations and enhancements to evidence-based curricula\, language immersio
 n classrooms\, and educational approaches that are grounded in Indigenous 
 worldviews and ways of being.\n\nDuring this webinar\, participants will h
 ear an overview of issues related to integrating Native language and cultu
 re into tribal early childhood programs\, followed by a panel highlighting
  innovations and promising practices being implemented in tribal communiti
 es. Participants will then be able to learn more about and discuss highlig
 hted strategies with peers and hear about resources they can use in their 
 own communities and programs.\n\nThis webinar is part of a series of webin
 ars on topics related to implementation and coordination of early childhoo
 d programs in American Indian and Alaska Native (AIAN) communities. Resour
