Officials at NASA's John C. Stennis Space Center are working closely with the Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians on implementation of GLOBE. A September 16, 1996, ceremony held on the Choctaw reservation in Philadelphia, Mississippi, marked the initiation of the new partnership between the Choctaws and the GLOBE Program. Eight Choctaw GLOBE teachers received training at Stennis April 15-18, 1997. They will soon begin using the program in their schools on the reservation.
