"significant indigenous events/developments/people" are missing from the colonization of north america - need to supplement with other sources]]> 2022-01-25 00:10:14 UTC https://padlet.com/hgproject/v7p81mptddylw63z/wish/2009999427 Past failing: Focus on Native history only within the context of 'Western expansion' https://padlet.com/hgproject/v7p81mptddylw63z/wish/2010000226 2022-01-25 00:10:56 UTC https://padlet.com/hgproject/v7p81mptddylw63z/wish/2010000226 Standards lincharron https://padlet.com/hgproject/v7p81mptddylw63z/wish/2010000249 When I first began teaching, I often fell into the trap of teaching Native American history as a sidebar. ]]> 2022-01-25 00:10:57 UTC https://padlet.com/hgproject/v7p81mptddylw63z/wish/2010000249 I got a copy of Indigenous Peoples' History of the United States and am using this and the teachers guide to try to bring in different perspectives https://padlet.com/hgproject/v7p81mptddylw63z/wish/2010000522 2022-01-25 00:11:11 UTC https://padlet.com/hgproject/v7p81mptddylw63z/wish/2010000522 People-first language https://padlet.com/hgproject/v7p81mptddylw63z/wish/2010000813 I do not use language such as Indian or American Indian. I gently redirect students who do. I'm on the textbook adoption for my district and we're currently piloting a HSS textbook that is full of this language and I'm speaking out against it.

As a class we discuss the ideological assumptions that certain words convey, so students can understand why we use different terminology for events. An example would be no longer using the title Manifest Destiny for westward expansion and settler colonialism]]> 2022-01-25 00:12:56 UTC https://padlet.com/hgproject/v7p81mptddylw63z/wish/2010002344 Choosing the right textbook https://padlet.com/hgproject/v7p81mptddylw63z/wish/2010002812 ...and also they right supplemental texts, and  pointing out the words that carry a history with them (need to get better at that.)

I covered the Trail of Tears and removal.

Older generations still use the term and are proud to do so. The US Govt still uses the term, eg Dept of Indian Affairs, etc. But I want to listen to this generation and this document supports that approach.]]> 2022-01-25 00:14:25 UTC https://padlet.com/hgproject/v7p81mptddylw63z/wish/2010003859 The textbook limits the perspective and often over look the importance of the topic. https://padlet.com/hgproject/v7p81mptddylw63z/wish/2010003901 2022-01-25 00:14:28 UTC https://padlet.com/hgproject/v7p81mptddylw63z/wish/2010003901 I actively use resources created by and about Indigenous people as part of our ongoing curriculum. (Indigenous Peoples History of the U.S.; The Women of Standing Rock; Marie's Dictionary; alternative views to Thanksgiving; Zuni maps project.) https://padlet.com/hgproject/v7p81mptddylw63z/wish/2010004491 2022-01-25 00:14:54 UTC https://padlet.com/hgproject/v7p81mptddylw63z/wish/2010004491 the past few years https://padlet.com/hgproject/v7p81mptddylw63z/wish/2010005273 along with addressing the indigenous perspective in history lessons I've had indigenous speakers visit to present. I assign current events that address current issues and resilience in the community. For ex, MMIW, DAPL and activists involved, acts of cultural and artistic resistance + celebrations, bell removal from missions, return of land and more. ]]> 2022-01-25 00:15:36 UTC https://padlet.com/hgproject/v7p81mptddylw63z/wish/2010005273 Initially, just visiting topics of Indigenous history as stand-alone topics as opposed to interweaving throughout curriculum. https://padlet.com/hgproject/v7p81mptddylw63z/wish/2010006472 2022-01-25 00:16:44 UTC https://padlet.com/hgproject/v7p81mptddylw63z/wish/2010006472 Reminds me that I still have so much to learn and consider. https://padlet.com/hgproject/v7p81mptddylw63z/wish/2010007011 2022-01-25 00:17:17 UTC https://padlet.com/hgproject/v7p81mptddylw63z/wish/2010007011 textbook lessons https://padlet.com/hgproject/v7p81mptddylw63z/wish/2010008022 I often find the indigenous perspective flattened in the textbook resources I've been given and it is sometimes missing in the primary source lessons I have found.
