"I'm a tribal member of the White Earth Nation here in Minnesota and I worked there for about 30 years in childcare," she said. "There was always a void around bringing culture in the classroom. Sometimes teachers, they don't have time for that sometimes if they're non-Native themselves. They're not comfortable with that."
