The story of the first Thanksgiving is often told from the perspective of the English settlers. Have you ever heard the Wampanoag side? Accurate representation of #Indigenous history is one way to honor #Native peoples during #NativeAmericanHeritageMonth. bit.ly/3smThnw

Three very powerful documentaries are on ⁦@PBS⁩ and World Channel this month that tell stories of family separation, adoption, Native identity and reconnecting. If you’re learning about #ICWA these films are a great place to start! worldchannel.org/press/artic…

After some cringe-worthy coverage from non-Native outlets, here is a run down of Native journalists covering last week’s #scotus oral arguments in Haaland v #Brackeen. @jourdanbb & @Pdineclah covered protests outside #SCOTUS for @IndianCountry indiancountrytoday.com/news/…

I will be teaching African American History and World Geo at my new school. I want to build a comprehensive, honest course for my students. What recommendations do you have for teachers of this content? #blackhistory #africanamericanhistory #iteachhistory #indigenousteacher
