Indigenous People’s Day Lesson Plan

Description

Journey with other Imani Geniuses and learn about the history of the Indigenous People of The Americas, and how Christopher Columbus played a role in their lives. This series of activities allows Pre-K-5th grade students to explore heroes like Squanto and Sitting Bull and our connection to our Native American brothers and sisters. It can be stretched over the course of a week, or completed in one day depending on level of interest and understanding. It also shares the facts that many of us aren’t aware of as it relates to Christopher Columbus and other European colonizers using public media, recipes, and more.
