Big Horn Academy Update

To kick off Native American Week last week, students in Mrs. Christy Morse’s class began working with Dimarco Barea of the Wyld Foundation to:

*Learn digital storytelling and technology skills
*Explore Apsáalooke history, language, and landscapes
*Co-create content for The Village: Uuwatisee game
*Build future pathways in STEM and creative careers

Field Trip – September 24, Fort Smith, MT
Students visited the Medicine Wheel, Grapevine Creek Buffalo Jump, MK Hill, and Pretty Eagle Point.

Last week, staff also participated in a Professional Development session led by Dimarco Barea, Executive Director of the Wyld Foundation. The training introduced Uuwatisee (Big Metal)—an immersive educational video game designed to connect culture, curriculum, and storytelling for students. The session included:

*An introduction to the game’s purpose and Indigenous-centered design
*Reflections from early adopters and student testers
*Classroom strategies for aligning the game with IEFA essential understandings

A special thank you to Mrs. Christy Morse, Counselor Autumn Whiteman, presenters Les Left Hand and Tim McCleary.
Ahóoh to our Teepee helpers CJ Other Medicine, Holman Real Bird, and Scotty Dawes for setting up the teepee last week!
