History
editThe school was established in 1976 to push Native Americans into a public school and lower dropout rates in Native Americans in Buffalo.[2] It was one of the first magnet schools in New York to be based off of ethnicity.[3]
The school has hosted many Native American cultural celebrations.[4]
During its time open, the school established playgrounds for after school hours.[5]
