Rethinking How We Celebrate American History—Indigenous Peoples’ DayHappy Indigenous Peoples' Day! On Monday, more states, cities, and communities than ever will observe Indigenous Peoples’ Day in place of or in addition to Columbus Day. They’re part of a larger movement to see a more complete and accurate history of the United States taught in our schools and public spaces. Given research showing that the majority of state and local curriculum standards end their study of Native American history before 1900, the importance of celebrating the survival and contemporary experience of Native peoples has never been clearer.

Columbus Day Or Indigenous Peoples' Day? The Debate ContinuesColumbus Day, which honors the Italian explorer's October 12, 1492, arrival to the Americas, has been a US federal holiday since 1971. However, the holiday, marked annually on the second Monday of October (October 10th this year), has always been controversial. Many believe that the European settlers' mistreatment of the Native American people is not a cause for celebration.

From Columbus Day to Indigenous Peoples DayBy grappling with the question of who we celebrate, and why, history teachers can help students navigate the complexities of the past.

Amplifying Indigenous Experiences | PBS All-Stars Lessons | PBS LearningMediaStudents will watch three episodes of the UNLADYLIKE2020 series of 26 short films and explore the similarities in issues affecting these women while also identifying the qualities that made them unique. The lessons are about finding common threads between the women, and also between the past and the present. This student-centered lesson follows the '5E' instructional model. Students will explore the lives of these incredible figures through a gallery walk, discuss their findings, research events of the present, and create their own gallery walk to present their research. Objectives: Students will aim to... • engage in past and present Indigenous people and identify incidents related to culture, land, citizenship, and health; • explore, analyze, and create with the topics presented in UNLADYLIKE2020; • explore the topics presented in the UNLADYLIKE2020 episodes, analyze them, and work together to create from them; • identify the specific examples of each figure’s experiences with culture, citizenship, land rights, and health, and discuss the figures’ achievements; • elaborate on issues related to culture, citizenship, land, and health by connecting past events and present events related to these topics; • evaluate the knowledge gained from the activities surrounding Indigenous people and culture and determine steps in moving forward with this knowledge. About the Authors: Sarah Dahl: Watching students learn, and contributing to their knowledge base, brings Sarah Dahl more joy and accomplishment than any other career could. Whether her students are 15 or 55 she is motivated by every opportunity to help her students become themselves. Having taught English Language Arts for the last 13 years, Sarah finds herself constantly challenged by her ever changing student body. Each year presents something new and exciting to design, execute, and revise, and not all careers have such opportunities. In the last two years, Sarah has taken on the challenges of integrating more technology into her classroom, and in the last few months she has had the opportunity to work closely with colleagues to empower them to do the same. Sarah finds the rewarding part of teaching is to work closely with colleagues in the integration of 21st century skills. Sarah has worked closely with her PBS Teacher Ambassador and leads a professional development group that helps teachers find ways to use technology in their lessons. BJ Garcia: BJ is a seventh and eighth grade math teacher at Crownover Middle School in Texas. BJ received a Bachelor of Science in Architecture degree from Texas Tech University, but a few years after graduating college decided to change career paths. He has been teaching math and coaching football in Denton ISD for the last 13 years. BJ believes becoming an educator is truly the best job, because he is able to coach students in the sports that he loves, and shape minds in the classroom. BJ enjoys finding meaningful ways for students to make connections between math and the real world. He has a passion to create STEM based lessons that challenge students' creative side. The goal for his classroom is to make learning irresistible to his students. In 2015, BJ was named Teacher Of The Year. His desire to grow professionally has led him to teach a variety of Summer STEM camps, participate in collaborations with the Samsung Solve for Tomorrow program and write several grants to enhance student learning in my classroom.
