The question of whether or not a genocide was committed against the Native Americans is brought up, which could be debated in a classroom. And the video also gives an example of how the United States was still fighting Native Americans at the turn of the 20th Century. The perspectives of both Native Americans and the colonist are given. ]]> 2016-09-22 19:57:58 UTC https://padlet.com/benwoz91/qh0g28isxcj1/wish/125863838 benwoz91 https://padlet.com/benwoz91/qh0g28isxcj1/wish/125866961 This meme uses current events that many Americans tend to forget, or have never been taught, what colonists did to Native Americans when they came to this continent. This connects, from the perspective of a Native American, how European settlers came to America and the current refugee crisis. Students can use this as a jumping off point to make up an alternate history of the United States if the colonists were treated the same as refugees are. ]]> 2016-09-22 20:15:25 UTC https://padlet.com/benwoz91/qh0g28isxcj1/wish/125866961 benwoz91 https://padlet.com/benwoz91/qh0g28isxcj1/wish/126166701 This article explains what is happening in South Dakota between the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe and the Dakota Access Pipeline. This article gives us a current event where we can examine Native American relationships. The article presents arguments for both sides of the issue. This can be used to show students how Native Americans are still fighting for their rights; it is not a thing of the past. ]]> 2016-09-24 14:24:33 UTC https://padlet.com/benwoz91/qh0g28isxcj1/wish/126166701 benwoz91 https://padlet.com/benwoz91/qh0g28isxcj1/wish/126168502 This article is a collection of primary sources from colonists and Native Americans discussing the takeover of Native American territory. This resource, as it gives conflicting perspectives, can be used a tool to debate whether or not the colonist had any rights to the land on this continent. ]]> 2016-09-24 15:13:14 UTC https://padlet.com/benwoz91/qh0g28isxcj1/wish/126168502 benwoz91 https://padlet.com/benwoz91/qh0g28isxcj1/wish/126172007 This cartoon is making a connection between how the colonists came to the Americas and undocumented immigrants coming into the United States. Like the meme, it is from the perspective of Native Americans, and it can be used to get students to think how different things would be if Native Americans treated European settlers the way we treat undocumented immigrants. ]]> 2016-09-24 16:26:18 UTC https://padlet.com/benwoz91/qh0g28isxcj1/wish/126172007 benwoz91 https://padlet.com/benwoz91/qh0g28isxcj1/wish/126174029 This interactive map shows how much land has been taken away from Native Americans by the United States. It begins in 1776 and goes to the present. This is a great visual to show students what has been taken from Native Americans and look at what now occupies the land. ]]> 2016-09-24 17:15:00 UTC https://padlet.com/benwoz91/qh0g28isxcj1/wish/126174029
