Since Time Immemorial (STI) Curriculum Taught in All Schools
In 2015, the Legislature passed Senate Bill 5433 modifying the original 2005 legislation, now requiring the Since Time Immemorial: Tribal Sovereignty in Washington State or other tribally-developed curriculum be taught in all schools. The use of the Since Time Immemorial curriculum has been endorsed by all 29 federally recognized tribes. OSPI Social Studies encourages your districts to work with local Tribes to teach about your local Tribe. You can find information on how to partner with Tribes here.

REMEMBRANCE:
The Legacy of Executive Order 9066 in Washington State
Explore the intergenerational impacts and legacy of the incarceration of people of Japanese descent during World War II. In this gallery, visitors will experience history through photographs, art, objects, letters, and film. A significant part of this exhibition was sourced by working with individuals and families who were directly impacted by Executive Order 9066, including survivors and their descendants.
Changing laws and the stirring of war with Japan caused strain for many Japanese Americans. The bombing of Pearl Harbor in 1941 only intensified fear and frustration as uncertainty about the future increased. President Franklin D. Roosevelt issued Executive Order 9066 on February 19, 1942, authorizing the creation of concentration camps for Japanese American citizens. This event would mark the lives of Japanese Americans, their families, and their communities forever.
