This unit is designed to increase Native students’ resilience through learning about how Indigenous leaders from the past and present have overcome obstacles and made a positive difference in their communities. In discussing the ways in which positive Indigenous role models such as Jim Thorpe (1888-1953), Cicely Littlewolf (1982-), etc, have demonstrated resilience, students will gain an understanding of how they will be resilient in the future.
This unit also incorporates a variety of social/emotional regulatory skills such as the Zones of Regulation and follows the teachings of the Oak Tree, a staple for Southern California tribes.
