This National Park Service grant is for the development of an Indigenous Interpretation undergraduate degree program at Tribal Colleges and Universities (TCU). The initiative aims to collaborate with TCUs to evaluate their existing coursework, identifying suitable content for packaging into a comprehensive degree in natural and cultural interpretation. Recommendations will also be made for new classes required to enrich TCU course offerings. Subsequently, Stephen F. Austin State University (SFASU) will join forces with the Tribes and the National Park Service to design specific undergraduate interpretive courses. These courses will emphasize the essential skills and philosophy of interpretation, alongside the crucial balance of interpretive research, collection, and respectful evaluation of tribal stories, ensuring authentic Indigenous voices are amplified within the interpretation profession.
