Becoming a Native Knowledge 360° Educator: Virginia (Treaty of Middle Plantation of 1677) Upper Elementary
How do we teach about treaties and their relevance today? In this professional development program, educators will apply NMAI’s Becoming an NK360° Educator framework: Spark, Connect, Learn, and Act to the topic of treaties. In an effort to protect and preserve their people and cultures, Native Nations often made sacrifices and signed treaties with other sovereign nations, including the United States. Using an inquiry-based approach we’ll examine the importance of treaties as primary source documents in your classroom.
