The Mandan, Hidatsa and Arikara Nation and Killdeer High School hosted their first assembly about Indigenous culture, according to Dakota News Network. MHA borders Killdeer, North Dakota, and the school district has about 85 Indigenous students.
Two history teachers at the school reached out to Jessica Howling Wolf to provide authentic cultural education for their students. Howling Wolf collaborated with the MHA Nation to organize an educational and immersive assembly, marking the first partnership of its kind between the neighboring communities.
