Appropriate Methods
When Teaching About Native American Peoples:
indicates link to related site
Understand the term "Native American" includes all peoples indigenous to the Western Hemisphere.
Present Native American Peoples as appropriate role models to children.
Native American students should not be singled out and asked to describe their families' traditions or their peoples' culture(s).
Avoid the assumption there are no Native American students in your class.
Use books and materials which are written and illustrated by Native American people as primary source materials: speeches, songs, poems, and writings, which show the linguistic skill of a people who have come from an oral tradition.
When teaching ABC's, avoid "I is for Indian" and "E is for Eskimo."
Avoid rhymes or songs that use Native Americans as counting devices, i.e. "One little, two little, three little..."
Research the traditions and histories, oral and written, of Native Americans before attempting to teach these.
