This article provides an overview of the Navajo (Diné) K’e model and associated Indigenous and multitribal concepts that the Native American Community Academy (NACA) teachers, curriculum directors, instructional team members, programing mentors (aunties and uncles), community partners, staff, and school leaders draw from to inform how they design and implement curricula across grade levels and content. This practice guides the framework for culturally responsive curriculum at NACA and the inherent sovereignty of Native people by providing civic engagement and education through the lens of Indigeneity. K’e is a cornerstone of civic Indigenous education that is grounded in the core values of Native culture, Native way of life, and Indigenous knowledge. The fundamental idea is to restore relationships and harmony rather than to assign guilt and punishment. Students at NACA practice this restorative practice that reflects their Native, multitribal, and multicultural identities. This article is sectioned into four parts in order to resemble the sacred directions that drive the innate core values rooted in ancestral, traditional, and contemporary Indigenous perspectives as applied to civic engagement and education for children and youth in a multicultural society. It is also comprised of short student portraiture interviews with students and teachers and an overview of NACA-Inspired Schools across our network.

扎根土著核心价值观：反映美洲土著文化和学习风格的公民教育文化适宜课程和方法

本文概述了 Navajo (Diné) K'e 模型以及美洲原住民社区学院 (NACA) 教师、课程主管、教学团队成员、计划导师（阿姨和叔叔）、社区合作伙伴、教职员工和学校领导借鉴以告知他们如何设计和实施跨年级和内容的课程。这种做法指导了 NACA 的文化响应课程框架和土著人的固有主权，通过土著人的视角提供公民参与和教育。K'e 是公民土著教育的基石，它以土著文化、土著生活方式和土著知识的核心价值观为基础。基本思想是恢复关系和和谐，而不是指派内疚和惩罚。NACA 的学生练习这种反映他们土著、多部落和多文化身份的恢复性做法。本文分为四个部分，以类似于推动根植于祖先、传统和当代土著观点的先天核心价值观的神圣方向，这些价值观适用于多元文化社会中的儿童和青少年的公民参与和教育。它还包括对学生和教师的简短学生肖像访谈以及我们网络中受 NACA 启发的学校的概述。本文分为四个部分，以类似于推动根植于祖先、传统和当代土著观点的先天核心价值观的神圣方向，这些价值观适用于多元文化社会中的儿童和青少年的公民参与和教育。它还包括对学生和教师的简短学生肖像访谈以及我们网络中受 NACA 启发的学校的概述。本文分为四个部分，以类似于推动根植于祖先、传统和当代土著观点的先天核心价值观的神圣方向，这些价值观适用于多元文化社会中的儿童和青少年的公民参与和教育。它还包括对学生和教师的简短学生肖像访谈以及我们网络中受 NACA 启发的学校的概述。
