Beyond Heroes and Holidays Review in EL by Stan Karp (May 1998)

Recently I watched an episode of "Star Trek Voyager" in which the crew was subjected to the evil experiments of invisible aliens. Needles were attached to the heads of unsuspecting crew members, causing some to suffer agonizing pain, others to waste away, and still others to engage in uncharacteristically stupid behavior. The story reminded me of the urban high school I've taught in for 20 years. But instead of being tortured by alien experiments, the inhabitants seem afflicted by the debilitating legacy of racism, often no less invisible and with similarly unhappy results.

Beyond Heroes and Holidays renewed my hope that schools may yet find ways to address this dilemma. Beyond Heroes is a toolkit for unpacking years of personal, institutional, and historical baggage and raising hard issues in constructive ways. It shows how the trendy but soft and superficial multiculturalism now prevalent in schools might become more robust and powerful. It moves beyond "celebrating diversity" to understanding why some differences translate into access to privilege and power, while others are a source of discrimination and injustice. With its many practical strategies for creating dialogue and real change in school communities, Beyond Heroes and Holidays left me hopeful that we might yet move to a higher ground of mutual understanding and join in a common struggle for justice in schools and out.

Beyond Heroes and Holidays Review from Democracy and Education By David Stone, Assistant Professor in Counselor Education at Ohio University (Fall 1998)

Beyond Heroes and Holidays is a find. It offers insight into how the traditional American educational system perpetuates racism in all curricular areas, It provides a rich array of resources, models and strategies for promoting multicultural education. And it can be used by all teachers-new as well as experienced, K-12 as well as university-level. This book is for anyone who has either wondered or been asked, "How can I incorporate multicultural education into my classroom?"

The book is divided into two broad sections: "Working with School Staff, Family and Community" and "Working with Students." In the overview, Sonia Nieto provides a framework for the book which both depicts the mono-cultural structure of most schools and illustrates a truly multicultural learning environment. Nieto acknowledges that tolerance is the most commonly used approach to multicultural education. Yet she argues that tolerance cannot be the foundation for multicultural education because it basically represents support for the status quo. Nieto delineates four levels of multicultural education, each of which is more inclusive, more holistic, and more desirable than the preceding one.

The four levels are: tolerance; acceptance; respect; and affirmation, solidarity, and critique. Nieto suggests -- and I agree -- that the fourth level (affirmation, solidarity and critique) embodies the richest theory and practice of multicultural education. I say this because the model embraces and celebrates racial, ethnic, and cultural differences, where all persons are affirmed in curricular areas. The fourth level is full of possibility. Students' experiences are used as springboards into broader horizons, helping students learn that "American" means everyone.

Some of the articles that follow Nieto's overview offer educational practices that concretely illustrate how educators have been promoting "affirmation, solidarity, and critique" in their classrooms; some of the articles expose practices that support the status quo; and most do both. Due to space limitations, I can only summarize a few of the dozens of articles that are in this anthology. In Sleeter's "Teaching Whites About Racism," the goal is for teacher educators to help White students to identify and to transcend the limitations that racism places upon their thinking. Sleeter offers specific classroom strategies for pre-service teachers to understand racism and to see how it shapes their teaching practices.

The misrepresentation of the history of Africans and African-Americans in textbooks of American history is eloquently captured by Loewen in "Lies My Teacher Told Me: Racism and Anti-Racism in U.S. History," an excerpt from his book Lies My Teacher Told Me. Loewen examines four serious flaws of the average textbook's treatment of slavery: (1) it does not discuss how the peculiar institution impacted White America; (2) it never acknowledges that there was something wrong with White Americans for them to have enslaved people; (3) it does not discuss slavery's relevance to the present in terms of the economic and social inferiority placed upon Blacks and the racism it imprinted upon Whites; and (4) it inaccurately depicts anti-racism forces in U.S. history.

"Working With Students" is the title of the second section of the book, and it is full of strategies that take us beyond heroes and holidays. This section focuses on the classroom, and we find classroom and school-wide activities that will assist in achieving the true inclusiveness and multicultural education that Nieto discussed in the overview.

In an article on activism and preschool children, Louise Derman-Sparks presents an anti-bias curriculum and a structure for teachers to create activism activities for children. The anti-bias curriculum has several goals: to assist the child in the development of a "knowledgeable, confident self-concept and group identity"; to promote the child's "comfortable, empathic interaction with people from diverse backgrounds"; to "foster each child's critical thinking about bias"; and to "cultivate each child's ability to stand up for her/himself and others in the face of bias."

Derman-Sparks' framework for activities is a wonderful avenue for children to feel that they can take stands for the sake of their world and their concerns. The process builds a sense of empowerment and teaches children to be critical thinkers about their world.

Debbie Wei, a Philadelphia school teacher, offers an ESL social studies curriculum in which community issues become the class text. By studying issues such as a racial incident in which a young person died, the students learned how media reporting may further shape people's perceptions. Further, the students explored the link between race and justice. Wei broadens this lesson to encompass the experiences of racial minorities in the United States and to highlight their similarities. This in turn allows the students to develop insight into the sociopolitical realities of others, and to make empathic connections. This process blossoms into a study of the Civil Rights Movement in which the students' essays about discrimination are developed into comic strips that are displayed at a reception for teachers, students and their families.

Bill Bigelow presents a powerful play on the resettlement of two Native American groups from their homelands. In this lesson, students become the principal players in an 1830 drama that significantly changes the lives of thousands of people. The students research and then role play the Cherokees, the Seminoles, the Congressmen, the President, the Plantation Owners, the Farmers, the Missionaries and the Reformers who participated in the processes that led to this displacement. History is given life in this wonderful teaching medium. The ugly underbelly of government is exposed as well, giving students an opportunity to perceive "first-hand" the institution of racism working in concert with the institution of government.

Ernie McCray's piece on the exclusion from California schools of children who are not in the country legally illuminates a basic value that educators of children must have. We are responsible for assisting children to nourish their hopes, to fulfill their dreams, and to maintain their dignity. We must look out for the children who share their lives with us in the classroom. Beyond Heroes and Holidays goes a long way towards helping us meet this responsibility.

Beyond Heroes and Holidays: A Practical Guide to K-12 Anti-Racist, Multicultural Education and Staff Development Review by Jerome E. Morris (December, 2000)

According to their Annual Report of 1999, "The Network of Educators on the Americas (NECA) is a nonprofit organization committed to promoting social and economic justice through transformative, quality education for all learners." Editors Enid Lee, Deborah Menkart, and Margo Ozakawa-Ray, and NECA have made a major contribution to multicultural education. Beyond Heroes and Holidays: A Practical Guide to K-12 Anti- Racist, Multicultural Education and Staff Development brings the ideas and thoughts of multicultural education to the "masses" of educators.

This edited book is a must-have for educators at all levels. Beyond Heroes and Holiday s consists of classroom lessons, professional development activities, critical literacy, stories, and excerpts of readings that focus on major multicultural principles and thought. The volume is organized into the following ten sections: School, staff, family, and community development; (2) Reading between the lines: Critical literacy; (3) Language; (4) Lessons for the Classroom; (5) Technology; (6) School-wide Activities; (7) Holidays and Heritage; (8) Talking Back; (9) Glossary; and (10) Resource guide. Interspersed within the writing are activities for workshops, courses, and institutes.

The editors use the philosophy of critical pedagogy, pioneered by the Brazilian educator, Paulo Freire to guide the book. Infused within critical pedagogy is a focus on race and class-based inequity in education that analyzes multicultural education through multiples lenses and from multiple levels: the individual and personal (micro); community (meso); and the societal (macro). I personally found this refreshing because too often misuses of what some define as "multicultural education" avoid serious analyses of race and racism in schools and society. If not careful, multicultural education has the potential to be coopted by naive and sometimes well-intentioned educators who have not critically examined their relative positions within a personal, and global context. For many of them, unfortunately, multicultural education is only about heroes, holidays, ethnic foods, and cultural attire, and devoid of serious discussions of race and class-based inequities. Beyond Heroes and Holidays provides educators with practical tools for deconstructing surfacelevel celebrations and analyses of culture in schools and societies.

An example of the information presented in the edited book includes an article by Sonia Nieto, "Affirmation, Solidarity, and Critique: Moving Beyond Tolerance in Education." In this article, Nieto takes the reader inside schools to illustrate how multicultural education might actually look like in various schools' practices and policies. She does this through five scenarios and notes how each school-through a critical analysis of the cultural symbols, power arrangements, curriculum, and the extent of affirmation of students' diversity and ethnicity-provide different levels of multicultural education support. Numerous examples of insightful critiques and analyses permeate this book, including critiques of popular knowledge such as the notion that Mexicans are "taking" U.S. jobs and movie depictions of Pocahontas. Educators are encouraged to begin to see historical events and movements such as "Thanksgiving," "Chinese exclusion" in America, the "Westward Movement" the "Civil Rights Movement" and slavery and the Civil War, through different lenses. Moreover, the book not only focuses on multicultural education for diverse, ethnic, cultural, and language groups; selected articles by noted authors and researchers such as Beverly Daniel Tatum and Peggy McIntosh enable the reader to begin to deconstruct whiteness, white racial identity, and their accompanying privileges.

This edited book also includes a collection of writings by prominent scholars such as James Banks, Lisa Delpit, and Christine Sleeter, as well as articles, essays, and poems by not so well known students, teachers, and activists. A major strength is the editors' ability to operationalize theoretical and abstract concepts by providing concrete readings and examples of the manifestation of hidden privileges, racism, ethnocentrism, and oppression. Beyond Heroes and Holidays not only "educates" educators, students, and activists, but it also illustrates how to "Talk Back" through protest and collective community action. This 450+ page volume ambitiously provides examples of "how to" infuse multicultural education into every aspect of our daily lives. In some ways, however, the editors realize how humanly impossible this task might become. Therefore, they provide references, resources, and internet sites to encourage the reader to move beyond the text.

The major weakness of the book is organizational, rather than substantive in nature. Some of the transitions between the writings are dis-jointed. While the book is already voluminous, brief interludes at the beginning of each section might help the reader to make a smoother transition. The contents, without a doubt, clearly convey NECA's seriousness in publishing informative and consciousness raising texts and guides, as well as the editors' expressed commitment to transformative multicultural education and social justice.

Beyond Heroes and Holidays: A Practical Guide to K-12 Anti-Racist, Multicultural Education and Staff Development will prove to be extremely useful as a resource guide for school-based educators, and a valuable supplementary text for courses that focus on race, culture, class, and gender in education. I currently use selected writings for graduate-level courses that I teach on race and culture in education policy, and the cultural politics of December, 2000 post-colonial education. I highly suggest this book for beginning and advanced multicultural educators, schoolteachers, and college professors across disciplines, as well as activists and intellectuals outside of formal educational institutions.

He is also an assistant professor in the Department of Social Foundations of Education at The University of Georgia in Athens, Georgia.

This is a short post about the importance of the eagle in Native American culture, I was looking for a Kindergarten level book or video, but this is all I came up with. Te eagle is so important to indigenous people that it is important that before we talk about the eagle as an American symbol, we should discuss its importance to indigenous tribes long before it became a symbol of the United States.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
"In an eagle there is all the wisdom of the world."

The waŋblí - eagle - is an important winged symbol for the Native American people.

The eagle is the strongest and bravest of all birds. For this reason, Native Americans have chosen the eagle and its feathers as a symbol of what is highest, bravest, strongest and holiest.

In the Native American culture, eagle feathers are given to another in honor, and the feathers are worn with dignity and pride. They are treated with great respect.

When an eagle feather is dropped during a Native American dance, a special ceremony is performed to pick it up again, and the owner is careful to never drop it again.

An eagle feather is also used to adorn the sacred pipe because it is a symbol of the Great Spirit who is above all and from whom all strength and power flows.

Since the eagle holds high meaning in the Native American culture, eagle feathers and wings are used in special ways. For instance, when they are held over someone's head, it means the person is brave or is wished bravery and happiness. To wave it over everyone present means everyone is wished peace, prosperity and happiness.

We invite our viewers into the world of Bald Eagles through our high-definition live-streaming cameras placed over wild and captive Bald Eagle Nests. We are grateful to HDOnTap for generously donating their streaming service and partnering with us to achieve the highest quality possible.

Official Nest Cam Intervention Policy
The educational benefit of wildlife cameras is unprecedented and allows global viewers a "bird's eye view" into the lives of bald eagles and other birds of prey. However, American Eagle Foundation, in conjunction with USFWS guidance, prohibits interference in an active wild nest. If a situation occurs that can be directly linked to a man-made cause (such as monofilament entanglement) a panel of experts can be called in to determine whether action should be taken to support a nest. Actions cannot be taken in situations that are found to occur naturally in the wild, such as avian pox, nest disruption caused by storms, predators, etc. As always, viewer discretion is advised when watching our nest cams.

Dollywood Nest Cams

The Dollywood Nest Cams feature unbonded male and female bald eagles. All the eagles here live inside of an enormous aviary on Eagle Mountain Sanctuary at Dolly Parton's Dollywood theme park. Although these eagles are non-releasable and are unable to survive in the wild, they live the most natural life that they can in human care.

Northeast Florida Nest Cam

The Northeast Florida Nest Cam features the nest of wild Bald Eagles Samson & Gabrielle. Three cams provide very closeup, high definition views of every important moment in the nesting season, and a third cam shows the tree and the nest from a distance away, enabling viewers to witness the adult eagles flying into the nest, as well as the juvenile eagles branching and fledging.

National Arboretum Nest Cam

The National Arboretum Eagle Nest features the wild nest of Mr. President & Lotus.
This Bald Eagle pair reside in our nation's capital, Washington D.C. Their nest sits high in a Tulip Poplar tree among the Azalea Collection at the U.S. National Arboretum, which is operated by the United States Department of Agriculture.
These cams are powered completely by solar energy.

in 2022, a second eagle nest was discovered on Arboretum property, closer to the river and golf course. Through photos and ground observations we have a positively identified the pair of eagles as Mr. President and Lotus.

Dulles Greenway Nest Cam

The Dulles Greenway Eagle Cam features the wild nest of Rosa and Martin.

The Dulles Greenway Wetlands has been home to two Bald Eagles since 2005. In 1995, TRIP II established a private 149-acre wetlands preserve in Leesburg, Virginia during the construction of the Dulles Greenway roadway to mitigate the loss of roughly 64 acres of federally protected wetlands. In 2021, we partnered with Dulles Greenway which is a privately owned toll road in Loudoun, VA (30 minutes outside of Wash DC). Today, the wetlands property is managed by the Loudoun Wildlife Conservancy and utilized for local wildlife education.

Smoky Mountain Nest Cam

The Smoky Mountain Eagle Cam features the wild nest of Lady Independence & Sir Hatcher II. This Bald Eagle pair has an interesting history. Lady was hatched in the nest of Independence & Franklin in 2008, and Sir Hatcher II was released from AEF's hack tower on Douglas Lake in 2012 after failing to fledge from his wild nest. Since this pair has relocated their nest to a very remote location, we no longer have cams on them but they are still seen and monitored by AEF staff.

Welaka Nest Cam

This cam is not operating currently. The Welaka Eagle Cam features the wild nest of two wild Bald Eagles living at the Welaka National Fish Hatchery in north central Florida. Records have been kept since 2016, and the pair has raised and successfully fledged eaglets each season since then. In 2020, 2 eaglets hatched and have already fledged the nest. As of April 1, 2020, the eaglets are making trips from and back to the nest and learning skills they will need in the wild.

Two cams were placed in their nest tree prior to the start of the 2020 season, but the eagles chose another tree for the season! Consequently, a third cam was installed on a pole closer to the new nest and in front of some of the fish ponds. Although we will not have the stellar views into the actual nest we had hoped for this season, we will be able to provide views of the eaglets, as well as their parents coming and going to and from the nest.

About Our Eagle Nest Cams

These Nest Cams provide unprecedented, high-definition insight into the Bald Eagle nesting process. At the beginning of nesting season, wild Bald Eagles return to their 'home nest' and begin 'nestorations.' Sticks are brought in to reinforce the nest structure, and soft nesting material is replenished to provide the protective nest "bowl" into which eggs will be laid. Normally, one to three eggs are laid and the incubation will take about 35 days on average. All eyes will be peeled for the first 'pip' or breakthrough of the egg shell by the eaglet inside. Then, thousands of viewers settle down to watch these eaglets grow and develop from downy bobble-heads to feisty and magnificent Eaglets, ready to take their first flight into what will be a steep learning curve of survival in the wild.

A moderated chat is embedded on all our cam pages. This feature allows viewers to comment and ask questions about the eagles and AEF. Knowledgeable and friendly moderators help guide the discussion and provide insight about the eagles' behaviors. AEF also encourages students and groups who are studying eagles or related topics to reserve time in the chat to ask questions and learn from experts. This has been a hugely successful endeavor, and we have welcomed many classrooms with students of all ages.

Information and facts about the bald eagle.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
A bald eagle's white head may make it look bald. But actually the name comes from an old English word, "balde," meaning white. These graceful birds have been the national symbol of the United States since 1782.

Bald eagles were on the brink of extinction because of hunting and pollution. But laws created almost 40 years ago have helped protect them, and they've made a comeback.

Female bald eagles are a bit bigger than males. Their bodies can be three feet (one meter) long, and their wingspan can be eight feet (2.4 meters) across. That's about the distance from the floor to the ceiling!

Eagle nests are called aeries (AIR-ees). Bald eagles build their nests at the very top of tall trees so the eggs will be safe. Some parents come back year after year to the same nest, adding more sticks, twigs, and grass each time.

Babies, called eaglets, are born light gray then turn brown. When they are four to five years old, they develop their normal white heads and tails. In the wild, they can live to be 35 years old or more.

Bald eagles can soar over 10,000 feet (3,048 meters) high, and their great eyesight lets them see fish up to a mile (1.6 kilometers) away. When they attack, they drop down at up to 100 miles (161 kilometers) an hour! Then they glide just above the water, snag a fish with their feet, and fly off to eat it.
