Back the Braid (Native Knowledge) is an initiative by the Native American Student Services at OKCPS to provide an opportunity to learn about the importance of hair within the Native American culture. This initiative helps ensure our students are being treated with fairness and kindness. Native people have always valued hair length in both boys and girls and it has significant meaning in our culture. This Native Knowledge classroom resource provides some quick facts and information on how to address your class and become a champion for our Native American Students.
