An Indigenous Place: A Land and it’s First Nations
December 15-16, 2010, 8:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m., Minnesota Discovery Center, Chisholm
A workshop for K-6 educators
The loss of American Indian land bases during European settlement and American colonization has had devastating impacts on American Indians in Minnesota. Land tenure education is critical to American Indians, as well as non-American Indians. This two-day workshop will utilize curriculum created by the Indian Land Tenure Foundation. Join us as we explore the importance of land from Ojibwe and Dakota perspectives. Through group projects and hands-on activities we will discuss how to incorporate new materials into current lesson plans while complying with state standards. Participants will have access to new resources, materials and tools to help improve student learning in the classroom.
