Knowledge Is a Sacred Inheritance

From homeschooling resources to heritage archives, our educational work weaves traditional knowledge with modern scholarship — for our youth, our families, and the generations still to come.

Our Approach

Rooted in Identity. Grounded in Truth.

Education at TOOR is more than instruction — it is the careful passing of identity, language, and memory from one generation to the next. We design every resource so that learners encounter Indigenous history and values with clarity, dignity, and respect.

Our offerings serve homeschool families, partner educators, researchers, members, and descendants who want to learn — or teach — from an Indigenous worldview without distortion.

What We Offer

Programs, Curriculum, and Cultural Resources

Each offering is shaped by elders, educators, and culture-bearers — released as it is ready, and stewarded for the long term.

Downloadable Homeschooling Resources

Printable lesson plans, learning packets, and family activity guides families can use at home — grounded in Indigenous worldview and values, and made available as free downloads as they are released.

Curriculum Development

Original, age-appropriate curriculum that integrates language, ceremony, history, civics, and land — designed with educators, elders, and culture-bearers to serve homeschool families and partner classrooms.

Workshops

Seasonal in-person and virtual workshops on language revitalization, traditional skills, governance literacy, and youth cultural learning — open to members, descendants, and invited guests.

Genealogy Guides

Step-by-step guides for reading vital records, mapping family lines, and conducting respectful Indigenous genealogy research — from your first family chart to verified lineage documentation.

Cultural Identity Education

Teachings that help members and descendants understand who they are: ancestry, kinship, ceremony, protocol, and the responsibilities that come with belonging to a people.

Indigenous History & Values

History told from Indigenous perspectives — treaties, removal, survival, and renewal — paired with the enduring values that shape how we live, lead, and care for one another.

Heritage Preservation Archives

A curated archive of documents, oral histories, photographs, and cultural records held in trust for present and future generations, with care for privacy and cultural protocol.

Family Lineage Education

Learning pathways that help families trace, verify, and pass down their lineage — so children grow up knowing their ancestors, their place, and their story.

Books & Cultural Literacy

Foundational Learning Resources

Beautifully crafted books that introduce young learners and families to Indigenous history, story, and identity.
