Materials: Rattles: Collect juice cans with lids, or even Pringles cans with lids; popcorn kernels; popsicle sticks; construction paper; markers. Drinking cups: cantaloupes cut in half and spooned out fruit (which the kids can have for snack) Plan: Rattles Give each student a juice can with lid. They can decorate their can using construction paper and markers. Have students fill the can with popcorn kernels. Cut a slit in the can to insert the popsicle stick. Glue or tape will hold it in place. Students can now make ceremonial music with their rattles. Drinking cups After cutting the cantaloupes in half and spooning out the fruit, let kids try to drink water using the cantaloupe as the cup. Native Americans used gourds as cups. Cantaloupes make great drinking cups for this summer activity.

Native American Languages Act of 1990 P.L. 101-477 (October 30, 1990) This federal policy statement recognizing the language rights of American Indians, Alaska Natives, Native Hawaiians, and Pacific Islanders was quietly enacted in the waning hours of the 101st Congress. Sponsored by Senator Daniel Inouye, Democrat of Hawaii, the bill passed on a voice vote in both House and Senate without hearings or any vocal opposition. It authorizes no new programs for Native Americans, nor additional funding for existing ones, but is expected to facilitate efforts to preserve indigenous languages. SHORT TITLE SEC. 101. This title may be cited as the "Native American Languages Act." FINDINGS SEC. 102. The Congress finds that— (1) the status of the cultures and languages of Native Americans is unique and the United States has the responsibility to act together with Native Americans to ensure the survival of these unique cultures and languages; (2) special status is accorded Native Americans in the United States, a status that recognizes distinct cultural and political rights, including the right to continue separate identities; (3) the traditional languages of Native Americans are an integral part of their cultures and identities and form the basic medium for the transmission, and thus survival, of Native American cultures, literatures, histories, religions, political institutions, and values;

World Religions Lesson Plans Please note that with regard to lesson plans dealing with anthropology, archaeology, indigenous people, ancient civilizations, history, etc, there may be some cross-over and blurring of lines between the topics. For example, a lesson plan dealing with archaeology is automatically dealing with an anthropological subject. A lesson plan dealing with indigenous people is also automatically dealing with anthropology and any of them may, or may not, be dealing with history or ancient civilizations. While every attempt will be made to keep the topic lines as 'clean' as possible, be aware this may not always be possible. Appropriate grade or age levels are included with the lesson plans.

I have not worked long with traditional Native Americans (TNA). However, in the three short years I have lived in Cortez, Colorado, I have come to appreciate the culture shared by many different NA tribes and to recognize the crying need for educators to learn to teach concepts in a way that NA students can readily grasp them. I have also come to realize that many of the approaches that help NA students learn are the same that I have adopted for the last thirty years as an educator working with other minority-culture groups.

Astronomy Curriculum Teaching Science to children The most important theme for a beginning outreach provider is to recognize that modern educational practices stress the need for inquiry-based methods in teaching science for diverse learning styles. This is discussed , for example, in the publications from the National Science Teachers Association. One stype does not fit all. Thus the following paragraphs from Collected Wisdom: American Indian Education There is a danger of overgeneralizing the findings of limited research studies on American Indian learning styles to all American Indian students and tribal groups. Teachers should adapt their instruction to meet the unique learning styles of all students. There was a strong sense from most every teacher interviewed in this study that students do not all learn alike and that all students (American Indian and non-Indian) enjoy the kind of learning that comes from inquiry and experience. These strategies should be regarded as universal teaching practice. The ways of learning predominant in the home and community may influence the preferred ways of learning of the students at school. Culture has an impact on learning styles.

By delivering this letter to your school or your children's teacher, you can set them on the course of exploring Native Americans as Native Americans see themselves, rather than from the point of view of most texts that explain the history of the US only from the perspective of the victors of the wars that took place here. At the same time, you will bring recognition of the extent of the work that has been done towards making a Native American Holiday a reality and will perhaps encourage them to taking those steps themselves.

Poetry E-Journal Multicultural Song Index Quips and Quotations Other Sites Join the Listserv Film Reviews Social Justice Store Search: A Native American Approach to Teaching and Learning by Lauen Wakau-Villagomez , D'Youville College submitted September 2003 A number of years ago I taught a class in learning theory on the Menominee Indian Reservation in Wisconsin. My students, all of them members of the Menominee Nation, were either language teachers working as interns or experienced teachers at the graduate level. One of the things I discovered while teaching this course is that these teachers routinely use the Medicine Wheel to illustrate concepts in their classrooms. This should have come as no surprise to me. The use of symbols is common in Native culture, just as it is in all cultures. Symbols are cultural triggers and function as metaphors for living. Commonly recognized symbols include the cross for Christianity, the interlocking black and white forms to convey the Asian concept of yin and yang, and the Muslim crescent moon. Native Americans use the Medicine Wheel as a conceptual model to represent their values. In fact, to understand Native culture is to understand the symbolic value within the medicine wheel. The origin of Medicine Wheels is not precisely known. Some say that they were astrological structures, much in the same way as Stone Henge in England. Others claim that the Medicine Wheel represented an elaborate sun dial or denoted a sacred altar. One legend states that the Medicine Wheel was described for Native Americans by Black Elk, the holy man of the Ogala Sioux. Black Elk (1863-1950) was born at the height of the Great Plains Horse culture. He was a man who was known to have visions that told him of many things in relation to his people and the white people moving into Native lands. Black Elk had a vision in which the Medicine Wheel was seen to signify the cycle of life, the interrelationship of life and the harmony of life.

It was brought upon us by the children of the Great Father (whites) who came to take our land from us without price, and who do many evil things. . . . It seems to me that there is a better way than this. When people come to trouble it is better for both parties to come together without arms, to talk it over, and find some peaceful way to settle." (Spotted Tail Brule, Sioux leader, 1877) Introduction What are some of the major issues that confront Native Americans in the 1990s? What tribal rightspolitical, religious and culturalshould be given protection from our government? Should Indian lands be returned to them, even if it means displacing other citizens or industry? How has government policy changed since the late 1960s when President Richard Nixon stated that federal policy would include Indians on key committees and "assured the Indian that he can assume control of his own life without being separated from the tribal group"? (Bordewich, p. 12) What of the legendary mismanagement of the federal Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA), which a Congressional report in 1990 called a "national disgrace"? How realistic are notions of preserving a distinct Indian culture in an America in which statistics reveal that Indians are continuing to blend in with the dominant population through intermarriage at an ever-increasing rate?
