The passage of Washington State Senate Bill 5433 made the teaching of state tribal history, culture, and government mandatory in Washington's public schools and teacher preparation programs; requiring teacher candidates to show competence in demonstrating the intersection of cultural competence, equity, and pedagogy. This survey study aims to uncover elementary preservice teachers' cultural humility and perspectives on American Indian culture, leading to development of critical awareness and humility throughout their teacher preparation program. Findings show that preservice teachers self-report high levels of cultural humility, yet many open-ended responses point to a different story.
