Since its inception, the Dept. of Education has worked with BIA/BIE schools to provide training, $$$, and guidance to improve education of Native students. That seems to be ending as ½ of the DOE staff has been dismissed.

Symbols of USA and their hidden meaaning…

The Liberty Bell

The Liberty Bell, residing in Philadelphia, is a cherished symbol of American independence. Its famous crack adds to its mystique, representing the struggle for freedom and justice.

The bell's inscription, "Proclaim LIBERTY Throughout all the Land unto all the Inhabitants thereof," resonates with the ideals of the American Revolution. Over the years, the Liberty Bell has become an emblem of the ongoing quest for civil rights.

It stands as a testament to the nation's resilience and determination in the face of adversity. This bell, which once rang to announce the birth of a nation, continues to inspire those who seek equality and justice.
