Groundwork for Teaching Indigenous Enslavement

Such incredible resources from Teaching Tolerance.  Excellent interview conducted by Dr. Meredith McCoy (Chippewa), Professor of American Studies and History at Carleton College in Minnesota.  The following distinguished guests were also wonderfully insightful:

So helpful to have a conversation that speaks directly to the kinds of topics, themes, and issues that teachers need to have in a thoughtful and intelligent rendering  of Native American/American Indian/Indigenous Studies in the K-12 Classroom.  Texas is now embarked on passing Native American and Indigenous Studies (NAIS) TEKS standards in our state's secondary classrooms.

Thank you for the gift of many lessons and resources in this helpful interview.  I can't wait to listen to the other episodes.

Episode 10, Season 2
To better understand the United States’ past and present, we need to better understand Indigenous identities—and classrooms play a huge role. This starts with examining what’s missing from our social studies, history, civics and government curricula. Throughout this episode, we reference the K-5 Framework for Teaching Hard History as we shed light on key topics like sovereignty, land and erasure.
Note: Native nations are domestic dependent nations and have a legal status equal to but not lesser than that of the states. This means that state law cannot supersede Indian law. A great place to learn more is the National Congress of American Indians' report Tribal Nations and the United States: An Introduction.
