This unit is designed to increase Native students’ resilience through examining Kumeyaay and Blackfoot history, The Sacred Tree, The Medicine Wheel, and personal stories of resilience.
Many of the lessons are designed using the book The Sacred Tree: Reflections on Native American Spirituality by Judie Bopp (Author), Michael Bopp (Author), Lee Brown (Author), Phil Lane Jr. (Author), and Patricia Morris (Illustrator). If you are facilitating this unit, you should have a copy of this book to aid you.
