INDIGENIZED LEARNING
Education Services
We provide a variety of programs tailored to the needs of participants and organizational goals, focusing on positive outcomes of all learners.
​
"Working with everyone at Noxtin Nomecayotzin has been truly powerful... Each time they come to do a workshop or a healing session, we receive very many comments from participants on how much they have learned and felt nourished by their work with our community. This is why we keep inviting them, and feel most fortunate that they gift us with their knowledge, skills, wisdom, and teachings. On top of this, they work with us to thoughtfully and carefully plan out all aspects of each event they've led or organized, and they truly listen to what our students and community members are seeking to feel, understand, experience. Thank you SO MUCH for your arduous, beautiful and impactful work!" -Assistant Professor of Education, Alicia Rusoja, Ph.D.
"Thank you for the healing circle. It reminded me that love, family/friends and spirituality is was makes life meaningful." -participant
Workshops
Workshops for learners of all ages. We frequently design and lead workshops for colleges & universities.
Our K-12 workshops align with California Content Standards and engage with Performing Arts & Indigenous-centering curriculum.
Noxtin Nomecayotzin Education has a vision of integrating cultural learning into mainstream educational institutions and focuses on Indigenizing learning through integrating Indigenous learning methods, thinking & principles.
Indigenous Dance
Noxtin Nomecayotzin Education supports and works with Danza Xiuhtecuhtli, a traditional Indigenous dance circle in Sacramento & Elk Grove, CA. Community dance practices are offered weekly on Wednesdays from 6:30pm-8pm at Florin Elementary School and are free to attend.
Danza Xiuhtecuhtli is a ceremonial circle that provides limited presentations of dance and community blessings to raise funds towards sustaining the costs associated with keeping traditional practices free for participants and cultural practicioners.

Lectures & Presentations
Noxtin Nomecayotzin Education is leading the way towards evidence-based changes that seek the inclusion of cultural studies, equity and inclusion focused instruction and uplifting Indigenous voices through guest lectures, teaching and community presentations and events. We present most often through schools, libraries, and community non-profits.
Recent collaborations include EGUSD's Family and Community Engagement Department, St. Mary's College's ALLI-PAS and Sacramento's LGBTQ Center.
Guided Support
Support through transitional times from a decolonial perspective that rests in human connection and the work you are here to share.
"Jackie is thoughtful, strategic and thorough when working with me. She has a deep understanding and commitment to family and community and shares so much vital information and skill in a supportive and attentive way that is curated to each client's wants and needs. She is my go-to when I need to grow a new project or process a life step because her flexible thinking and breadth of knowledge creates so much space for me and saves so much time. She's rooted in connection instead of the isolation that can happen when working on changes. I always learn so much and have new perspective when I meet with her." -A. Ayala
