Tribal Regalia at Graduation
The California Department of Education (CDE) and the California Department of Justice (DOJ) remind students of their right to wear tribal regalia during graduation ceremonies. This right is protected under state law, and districts are encouraged to honor and support this expression of cultural identity.
For more information, you can view the official letter on the CDE 2025 Letters web page.
