Educators, You’re Invited to a Virtual K-12 Educator Night with the Heard Museum!

Join the Heard Museum for a FREE Virtual K–12 Educator Night exploring Indigenous perspectives on the environment, land, and water rights, inspired by the traveling exhibition Kay WalkingStick / Hudson River School, organized by the New York Historical. The program features a presentation by Heard Museum Curator Roshii Montaño (Diné), who will share insights on Cherokee artist Kay WalkingStick’s landscapes.

The session will also highlight the work of the Colorado River Indian Tribes (CRIT), including their recent historic decision to grant legal “personhood” to the Colorado River. This action honors the Tribe’s cultural, spiritual, and environmental connection to the river while providing protections that support its health for future generations. The evening will include an overview of online classroom resources from the Heard Museum’s Education team to support visual art, social studies, and interdisciplinary learning.

This FREE virtual event will be held via Zoom. Registration required.
