The state Education Department will look at ways to include more Native American history and culture in classes taught in South Dakota school districts, officials said.
The Indian Land Tenure Foundation, which works to protect American Indian land, is providing the Education Department with a $40,000 grant to help establish a steering committee that will develop topics to be added to existing standards and class curriculum.
