    What I learned from this visit was that only 350 men came into Jamestown and survived on an unknown land at first. Also Indians had fire inside their houses to smoke their houses so that mice would not be able to destroy their food. Indians also built canoes made out of Cyprus, most of them grew near the water and they built it with rocks. Indian women farmed while the men fought war with other tribes and they went hunting. I also learned that Chesapeake meant…

    Native American history taught in school usually is based around Indians traveling across the Bering Strait and living in minor, secluded tribes. Evidence now suggests that these teachings are not entirely true. In Charles C. Mann’s “1491”, Mann writes about Native Indians advancement in agriculture and its population, as well as how the Amazon rain forest might actually be a human artifact and how Native Indians are the reason behind it.…

    There are two books that are particularly important for students learning about Native Americans to read, Custer Died for Your Sins by Vine Deloria and “All the Real Indians Died Off” and 20 Other Myths about Native Americans by Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz and Dina Gilio-Whitaker. But before even reading the books, its vital to understand who the authors are. What their backgrounds are, who they wrote the book for and why, and arguably the most important: their authority to be writing the books. Without this knowledge, it is impossible to fully understand a book, since an author ingrains pieces of themselves into everything they write.…

    A general history of Native Americans has been a part of my education for as long as I can remember. I remember how during the week before Thanksgiving, my 1st grade class did a skit about the “First Thanksgiving”. In order to look like Indians we made vests out of paper grocery bags and crumpled them up to look like leather and drew on them with crayons. When I think of my education of Native American culture, I think of going to North Pacific Reservations and seeing 10-12 ft tall totem poles with the shapes of animals carved into them. Most of the Native American tribes that I have learned about have been Western United States tribes because I grew up in California. When I read the list of Wisconsin Native American tribes, I, unlike most of the class, had no idea what they were. I chose the Oneida tribe because my former youth pastor works at the Oneida Reservation. I look forward to learning about the Oneida tribe and comparing them with the Cherokee tribe.…

    The strategies I used in this lesson were critical thinking and class discussion. I wanted to get the class to think critically about sources they read. The goal was to have students question what they were reading and use the graphic organizer to help them do so. I think what went well in my lesson was the use of the graphic organizer to keep the students focused and on track. Also I think discussing the documents at the end helped to tie together the purpose of the lesson, which was to attempt to determine who fired the first shot of the revolutionary war. I also thought I did a pretty good job at facilitating the discussion. I was disappointed when more students did not participate. If I were to teach this lesson again I would try to get…

    Native American education delineated social responsibility, skill orientation, political participation, and spiritual and moral values. The cardinal goals of Native American education were to develop the individual’s latent physical skills and character, inculcate respect for elders and those in authority in the individual, and help the individual acquire specific vocational training (Franklin, 1979). Native American education was also for developing a healthy attitude toward honest labor, developing a sense of belonging and encouraging active participation in community activities. Both boys and girls had equal access to education. Boys were taught by their fathers, uncles, grandfathers, and other male elders. Girls were instructed by their mothers, aunts, grandmothers, female elders and other members of their families. Sometimes, both boys and girls received instruction at the feet of either male or female elders (Mould, 2004). There were barely any dropouts and the community ensured that every child received a full education.…
