Indian Education is part of the Office of Inclusive Education at the Nevada Department of Education (NDE). It provides technical assistance and guidance to school districts (LEAs) and schools to address the unique needs of American Indian (AI) students, while collaborating with tribes and organizations across Nevada to improve AI student achievement. Indian education in Nevada aims to enrich students' understanding of the five major indigenous groups within the state: the Northern Paiute, Southern Paiute, Washoe, Western Shoshone, and Fort Mojave. Additionally, it focuses on educating about various tribal groups from other regions of the country who have made Nevada their home.

During the 69th legislative session (1997), Assembly Bill 266 allocated funding to the NDE to hire an Education Consultant (Education Programs Professional) to focus on the specific needs of American Indian children. In the 82nd legislative session (2023), additional funding was allocated to hire an Education Programs Professional to oversee and manage the formal Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) Tribal Consultation process in Nevada. The goal of the ESSA Tribal Consultation is to establish a structured partnership between tribal representatives and LEAs to support AI students and to build stronger relationships between LEAs and tribal communities.
