Thanksgiving Resources

I put a Google Slides up on the Be Brave Board in celebration of Native American Heritage Month, which is in November. It includes a few videos, a Google Voyager activity, and a bunch of book recommendations. It's mostly not "about" Thanksgiving, although there is one video that touches on it. I also created a Land Acknowledgement, with may be worth showing to classes - it contains a link to an article that explains what land acknowledgements are.

Sam Tetreau provided these resources to us as well:

Hope your week is going well. With Thanksgiving coming up I started thinking about some of the harmful activities I personally used to do as a kid, such as making "Headdresses." So I thought I would share resources that help with teaching the Holiday in a culturally appropriate way and with Indigenous Peoples point of views. I'm sure many of you already have some great resources but I hope this helps!

A Racial Justice Guide to Thanksgiving for Educators and Families (there are SO many resources here - all grades) - One of my friends from another district teaches middle school and like this activity You are the Historian . It is an interactive self paced digital activity! 

The NEA provides resources from Native Educators (all grades I believe). My favorite was this resource that gives detailed lesson plans!
