Nya:weh Sge:no' ~ I am thankful you are well!

My name is Michala Redeye, I am the TOSA (Teacher On Special Assignment) Native American Program Coordinator Pre-k - 12. I work with the Native Services and programs here at the Salamanca City Central School District. I previously taught Seneca language & culture at Seneca Elementary 2005-2012. I am thankful to be here and work with such awesome people. I am always learning and am so appreciative to have these opportunities.

I was born and raised in Salamanca and am an SHS Alumni. I am Seneca and of the Wolf Clan. I live in Salamanca with my family. My children are Darcey (SHS graduate), Carson (SHS graduate) , Paisley, Tanner, Sophia and our dog, Bella. I am also an Akso:d, Grandma, to Laken Jay. I have many brothers & sisters and nieces & nephews. Spending time with my family is my favorite thing to do! We like to travel, camp, and have fun!

Salamanca is a unique place with much diversity.  It is the home to the Seneca Nation ~ Allegany Territory.  SCCSD has a high Native American population with many tribes represented here from the Hodinosyonih (Iroquois) of New York State and Canada to the Kenaitze tribe in Alaska.  In this position, I work with staff, students and families and our programs and services we offer our Native American students.  I work with SCCSD staff and the Seneca Nation along with other outside agencies to ensure that all programs and services are meeting our students needs.

I work to continue strengthening the home/school/SNI relationship, and we can do that together.  We at SCCSD have a cohesive relationship with our staff, the SNI staff and other agencies that help serve our students.  Together we can provide the tools our students need to succeed in school and in life.  There are many ways to be involved, and you can contact me for more information or with any questions.  

There are many ways to be involved at SCCSD. Please do not hesitate to reach out! You can stay up to date on our District Facebook page and our Native Programming and Services Facebook page.
