Students are currently working on their Community Grounded Praxis which revolves around taking action to better their communities. In May 2021, we received approval for the Indigenous Knowledge and Community-Centered Engagement certificate. Its purpose is: “In the Muckleshoot cohort of the Ed.D. program, each student will provide an oral knowledge connection to their community-grounded praxis project and demonstrate how this oral knowledge connects intergenerational knowledge generation and community preservation. It can include interviews or snippets of stories from Elders, tribal leaders (this is a broadened context) and youth.” We received funding from the University of Washington Tacoma Office of Community Partnerships to provide the funding to provide the certificate to Muckleshoot doctoral cohort student.
