Lessons from Turtle Island : Native Curriculum in Early Childhood Classrooms

Two educators one Native, one white address inadequacies in the coverage of Native American peoples in early childhood and elementary school classrooms. They suggest materials, activities, and strategies for presenting positive, accurate images of Native peoples across the curriculum, throughout the school year. They also list activities or practices which are not recommended, to help teachers distinguish between culturally appropriate and inappropriate curriculum ideas.
