Class Experience

US Grade 3 - 6
This is an introduction to who Native American peoples are both past and present. The class will cover information not often covered in textbooks. We will examine what most people think of when they think of Native Americans and work to change those perceptions. I will present information about stereotypes and why they're harmful, a brief history of North American Native nations, and then mostly focus on modern Native American peoples - who we are, what we do, where we live, powwows, art, music, etc. I will be teaching with a Power Point presentation and a few short videos. This class is taught by a real Native person, so it is taught from an Indigenous perspective. I will speak my language a little and show some modern cultural items. No prior knowledge is needed for this class. 
This is a lecture style class. There is time for some Q&A and a short game, but it is not a social class. 

(There is a class for ages 6 to 9 that is the same content, but broken down into two shorter sessions if your student may have trouble sitting through a 75 minute class.)

Other Details

Parental Guidance
These are the videos I will be using in class if parents want to preview them first. There are no parental guidance issues, I have used these videos in classroom presentations many times. This is about powwows: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=on9bnvuOLtE Video about translating Finding Nemo into Navajo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lt-8qW6tFZQ Music Video by Indigenous youth in Bella Coola, Canada, through N'we Jinan Studios: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VeWqgLLCef0
Supply List
No extra materials for class, but if parents would like an email with documents of teaching resources and book recommendations by Native authors, I can provide those.
External Resources
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
