Bear River Band of Rohnerville Rancheria

The Bear River Band of the Rohnerville Rancheria will partner with the Humboldt County Office of Education to provide accurate and engaging curriculum about the tribe by producing five themed videos for high school students. The videos will feature a virtual reality experience, viewed through headsets provided to two partner schools for classroom use. The curriculum will be aligned with California Common Core Standards and will meet the need for teaching materials about local tribes. A classroom set of headsets and related materials will also be available for educators throughout the county to borrow for classroom use. The project builds on a successful pilot funded through a 2016 IMLS Native American Library Services Enhancement Grant.
