Summary: Five Ideas to Change Teaching About Thanksgiving, in Classrooms and at Home

# data[].attributes.body
The lesson revolved around ways that we could bring native American culture into thanksgiving without the bias stereotypes that follow. For example, the first way to bring more Native perspectives to teaching about Native Americans, is the need to move past overused and simplistic curriculums  about Native cultures. One common approach in early elementary classrooms is to center lesson plans around their  food, clothing, and shelter. Now these topics seem like simple ways to teach about Native American cultures, but isn't it a little degrading calling someone's home a shelter? The word shelter suggests that native Americans are a primitive culture and did not have complex and sophisticated ways of life. The article mentions that the main way to get rid of some of the stereotypes in educational teaching is to ask more open ended questions about the matter. For expel for learning about food instead of a list to memorize, maybe think where is originated from.

Native Knowledge 360°  provides educators and students with new perspectives on Native American history and cultures. Most Americans have only been exposed to part of the story, as told from a single perspective through the lenses of popular media and textbooks. Native Knowledge 360° then provides the necessary educational materials, virtual student programs, and teacher training that incorporate Native narratives, more comprehensive histories, and accurate information to enlighten and inform teaching and learning about Native America. Native Knowledge 360° also challenges common assumptions about Native peoples and offers a view that includes not only the past but also the vibrancy of Native peoples and cultures today.

The Landback Movement has existed for generations with a long legacy of organizing and sacrifice to get Indigenous Lands back into the actual Indigenous hands of the people. Currently, there are Landback battles being fought all across America. This movement advocates for a transfer of decision-making power over land to Indigenous communities.

Currently, there are Landback battles being fought all across America. This movement advocates for a transfer of decision-making power over land to Indigenous communities. The movement does not ask current residents to vacate their homes, but maintains that Indigenous governance is possible, sustainable, and preferred for public lands.The Landback Movement also calls for the return of all lands to indigenous communities to repair the harms of the past, like forced removal and genocide, and restore human society's relationship to the land as caretakers, not overlords. One way to help individually is to host a fundraiser and direct money towards supporting Indigenous organizing. If you have access to land and are interested in land repatriation to Indigenous people, begin building relationships with people and see if there is interest in local land returns.

Yes! The Land back movement isn’t just a call to return what was stolen and used to build political power at the expense of the land’s original caretakers. Rather, it’s a blueprint of how to tackle the ecological disruption caused by the exploitative practices at the heart of capitalism and white settler colonialism that have led to drought, wildfire, flooding, and species extinction. Climate catastrophes already disproportionately impact Native peoples, mirroring the history in which the theft of land and destruction of Native cultures were used to create American economies of ranching, cotton, gold, and tobacco. While non-Native people may see the return of land as unrelated to addressing the worsening consequences of climate change, the link between land-based racial capitalism and climate change is within the Land back movement.

Culturally, the African people had more in common with the Native nations than most people think. Both Native and African cultures valued family above economic profit and had a different relation to the land than did the Europeans. Both societies also depended on trade in their economies. The societies were also agriculturally based and the environment greatly effected the cultures of both African and Native American Tribes. They were both also forced from their homes by the white folk and forced to adapt to their new born society.

Absolutely! It would be an acknowledgement of what happened during all those years of pain and sorrow. In essence, it would be correcting history. It should have been acknowledged a long time ago but it is well deserved. In the past, U.S. history books and everything else would almost always put Native Americans in a negative position. Consequently, because of the Indian boarding schools and how Native Americans were treated, the innocent Native Americans have internal scars to bear because of the horrendous past. So there very well should be an apology/acknowledgement from the United States of America that these things did indeed happen, and now it's time to correct the record and to show exactly what the history really was like with the Native Americans.

The goal of the piece was to get people to understand the deeper past of their peoples, not just what they saw at the time we first they them. What about before they met the native Americans? What where their cultures like then? We learned about harsh stereotypes in class about their voices and cultures that really affect native Americans  deeply. Without thinking of their past and getting to know what they really are like, we are blind to really know who they are.

Again, this lesson contained the information that the worst way that anyone could be trying to eliminate the racism in Native American cultures is by teaching the bias stereotypes that may even hardly apply to their culture. If the world (especially America) could see the website and the educational programs/articles, such as this one, the education within the students view on Native Americans would change significantly. People would be able to spread the work more efficiently to get more and more peopel to see the deeper truth behind their awful past an how their land was taken from them. they are not just savages that were "adopted" into white culture. They are people like everyone else with their own ways of life. They deserve to be noticed, and have suffered so much in racism as well. The first step in helping them achieve the equality they deserve is by actually making an effort to not only learn their true past and cultures but to respect them and remove the bias.
