Like in the younger class, I will use a combination of lecture, PowerPoint and video to teach about Native harvest festivals, the true story of the 1621 feast, and modern Native perspectives on "Thanksgiving." Students will have time to ask questions and discuss their thoughts. We will be able to discuss more details than in the younger version of this class. I will start by teaching about harvest festivals as celebrated by Native nations since long before European contact and still today. We will then discuss fact and fiction regarding the 1621 story - what really happened, what was the result, what did they eat, etc. This will be followed by a brief discussion on the 1637 Pequot massacre in which the colonists celebrated with a "thanksgiving" feast. We will talk about the National Day of Mourning and other modern Native perspectives on the American holiday.
Other Details
Parental Guidance
A discussion on the Pequot Massacre of 1637 will take place and will be discussed in relation to the National Day of Mourning, which also touches on the subject of genocide. A mention of Lincoln ordering 38 Dakota men to be hanged is also part of the class. A brief mention of "suicide, alcoholism, and poverty" is mentioned in a video I use.
