Susanville Indian Rancheria

Log Number: NAB-250345-OLS-21

The Susanville Indian Rancheria will provide after-school tutoring for grades 1–8 in the Education Library and create an extension library for after-school tutoring/mentoring in the Teen Center for grades 9–12. The after-school program has trained tutors who provide Native American students extra support to develop their reading skills and complete school assignments. In addition to improving literacy, the program is adding tools and activities to enhance students’ social-emotional learning, which is particularly important after months of isolation during the pandemic. An outdoor gardening activity is being organized to encourage learning about the Native plants that sustained the cultures of the four distinct anthropological groups that make up the Susanville Indian Rancheria with food and medicines.
