Heart of the Earth School was founded in 1972 in Minneapolis, Minnesota by the American Indian Movement to serve urban Native American students as an alternative to both area public schools and federal schools provided by the Bureau of Indian Affairs. AIM classified it as a Native American "survival school", intending to help students take pride in their people, learn survival skills, and negotiate the difficulties of urban settings. It served students in K-12, kindergarten through twelfth grade. Initially holding classes in temporary spaces, the school received federal grants that enabled it to secure permanent space and expand its programs.

| - Heart of the Earth School was founded in 1972 in Minneapolis, Minnesota by the American Indian Movement to serve urban Native American students as an alternative to both area public schools and federal schools provided by the Bureau of Indian Affairs. AIM classified it as a Native American "survival school", intending to help students take pride in their people, learn survival skills, and negotiate the difficulties of urban settings. It served students in K-12, kindergarten through twelfth grade. Initially holding classes in temporary spaces, the school received federal grants that enabled it to secure permanent space and expand its programs. This was at a height of Native American activism, as tribes and Indian-affiliated groups worked to increase tribal sovereignty and control over their futures. AIM founded the , another survival school, in neighboring St. Paul, Minnesota in this same period. From 1999 Heart of the Earth School operated as a charter school in the Minneapolis Public School District. In 2008, the city ended its sponsorship after discovery of financial irregularities. After the former executive director was convicted of embezzlement, the school closed in 2010. (en)
