#30 - Teaching The Truth About Native Americans

Real Talk Education

November is Native American Heritage Month with the goal of celebrating the rich and diverse cultures and traditions of Native Americans. November is also the perfect time to correctly educate our students and school communities on the full histories, important contributions, and the unique challenges Native people have faced both historically and in the present, and the ways indigenous people have worked to conquer these challenges.

It’s time to have some “real talk” about the misinformation that continues to be taught in too many of our schools, effectively reducing the contributions of Native Americans to Thanksgiving and implementing a comprehensive approach on teaching the truth about Native Americans year round.

What you will learn in this episode:

• How to create an Indigenous Land Acknowledgment statement.
• Additional resources to help you expand your understanding of Native American experiences.
• How to become an ally of indigenous people.
