Aboriginal Rights  Native Language Teachers No Longer Need Certification

A new law allows high schools to hire tribal elders to teach Native
Americans languages, even if they are not certified teachers. Michigan
already allows students to learn tribal languages to satisfy the state's
high school graduation requirements, but many schools do not have
instructors certified to teach Native languages.

The Hannahville Potawatomi Indian Community in the Upper Peninsula led the
push to allow its elders to teach the Potawatomi language in schools.

The bill signed into law allows experts in a Native American language to
teach without teacher certification. That means kids can get credits in
Native American languages to fulfill the state's language credit
requirement.
