Native American Education

Nancy Engen-Wedin is the program manager at the Lied Center for Performing Arts and coordinator for the Indigenous Roots teacher education program. Since 2001 she has helped the university receive three federal grants, one of which helped endorse 50 Native American paraprofessionals to become certified teachers and work in the K-12 reservation school communities in Northeast Nebraska (Santee, Omaha Nation, Winnebago and Walthill Public Schools).
