Whose history matters. Students can name Columbus, but most haven’t heard of the Taíno People. The historic struggle of the Standing Rock Sioux to block construction of the Dakota Access pipeline? Indigenous climate justice leaders? Mauna Kea? Teach indigenous history all year.
This Indigenous Peoples’ Day, we remember the lives that were stolen, the wealth extracted, but also those who fought — and fight — for an end to the violence, and an end to using nature to satisfy greed. Find lessons, books, films, & more for K-12 ⬇️. https://t.co/S8yoggYytF
