History adjunct professor Laura Kelley brought freshman students from her "Indian Tribes On the Bayou" classroom down to Grand Bayou Indian Village — home of the Atakapa-Ishak/Chawasha Tribe — to help volunteers from the Coalition to Restore Coastal Louisiana (CRCL) build oyster reefs. These efforts combat coastal erosion and help rebuild marine life habitats.
