We've mentioned before that Dr. Natalie Martinez (Laguna) has developed the curriculum guide for IPH4YP, and we think it's going to be a great help to educators who want to teach with this book.
She has also created lesson plans to help teachers indigenize their classroom discussions of Indigenous Peoples' Day (replacing Columbus Day) and Thanksgiving. With the 400th anniversary of the Mayflower landing approaching, teachers can now turn to Dr. Martinez's lesson plan focusing on Indigenous perspectives on the "Pilgrims" and their legacy -- and the legacy of Indigenous resistance. Check out "Indigenous Perseverance: Wampanoag Survival 400 Years After the Mayflower", which expands on concepts and events addressed in chapters 2, 3, 7, and the conclusion of IPH4YP!
Have we said previously how pleased we are to know that these lesson plans are available, and are FREE to educators? Yes, we have. But it bears repeating.
