About This Lesson
Part of the 2019 AFT TEACH Conference.
Native Americans and Native American culture are widely misrepresented and misappropriated. Learn how to present history from a native perspective while helping your students, both native and non-native, see Native American culture as current and thriving. This session will provide various ways of integrating native themes into the curriculum—from food sovereignty in science and social studies to literature to reading selections.
Presenters: Leander Houston, science and mathematics teacher, University High School, Orlando, Fla.; Giselle Lundy-Ponce, executive assistant to the executive vice president, American Federation of Teachers: Kristine Montgomery, social studies teacher, Legacy High School, Bismarck, N.D.
