This is a community for American Indian/ Native American/ Indigenous teachers and professionals to network, share resources, and ask for advice.

This platform is open to discuss aspects of our Culture, tribal customs, and equitable practices for our Indigenous youth in the schools and for us who work in the educational system and other professional work environments.

Hello,
My name is Rod. I am Powhatan and enrolled in the Nansemond Indian Nation. It is one of the seven federally recognized tribes located in the Commonwealth of Virginia.

At the school where I work, there are a few other Indigenous teachers and there are not very many Indigenous students either. How is the work environment for Native American people where you all work? Are you recognized as Native, in your places of employment? For those who are teachers, what resources have you found that work well for Indigenous youth or resources which teach about our Indigenous youth?

Amazon Offer- Accept or decline?

Base: 75k
Sign-on: 43k
RSU: 825 shares
TC: 122k

Current TC: 98k
YOE: 6

Received an offer for non- tech CCM role and wondering if I should accept. I feel like I was lowballed and downleved despite having 6 YOE (relevant but not in tech). Not sure it will be beneficial to leave my current role for this offer to get my foot in the door.

I’m at the cap for salary at the level/role and can’t negotiate offer any higher.
