Native American Parents Advisory Council
The American Indian Education program is funded by a federal grant and two grants from the Minnesota Department of Children, Families and Learning. The program is staffed by an Indian Education Advisor and a Post-Secondary Preparation Specialist to provide comprehensive services to assist and encourage American Indian students to value their heritage, education and a healthy lifestyle, and to stay in school and prepare for a successful future. A Native American Parent Advisory Council works with the program.

Purpose of parent advisory council
Afford parents the necessary information and opportunity to express their views concerning all aspects of American Indian Education and the educational needs of the American Indian children enrolled in the school or program, and address the need for adult education programs for American Indian people in the community.

Members
Parents of children enrolled or eligible to be enrolled in American Indian education programs, children and secondary students eligible to be enrolled in American Indian education programs, American Indian language and culture education teachers and aides, American Indian teachers, counselors, adult American Indians enrolled in educational programs and representatives from community groups.
