An Indigenous People’s History of . . . Your Own Backyard
Native Land Digital is an initiative that strives to “create and foster conversations about the history of colonialism, Indigenous ways of knowing, and settler-Indigenous relations, through educational resources such as our map and Territory Acknowledgement Guide.” One major resource this site offers is the Native Land Mapping tool, which shows the original Indigenous territories, treaties, and language of any given location. Using the Native Land Mapping tool (found here), conduct a classroom-wide research project of the location in which you live.
Break into small groups (3-5 students each) and create posters or other visual aids that not only list the basic facts of the Indigenous tribes that once occupied your location, but also tell the larger story of what happened to that tribe in modern times.
