500 word min prepare a speech that you would give to a group of politicians, educators and activists about the importance of teaching and learning about American Indian History
Im working on a History question and need guidance to help me study.
A new movement has started since the early 2000s. A movement where organizations and even political groups are trying to protect America’s lands and Indian cultures.
A Historical Trauma has affected generations of American Indians. A distrust has developed towards different groups, agencies and organizations because of the maltreatment many First Nation people experienced. A view of educating the American people about the history of the First people has become limited in schools and many tribes are asking for help to current events that have decades of history connected to them.
For those who are not affected by the obstacles or issues, trying to understand what it means to be an American Indian in the United States is often difficult. The history of the First Nation is not taught in all schools or to every American. The goal of this class was to briefly introduce you to First Nation and inspire you to learn more about the tribes and the current obstacles they face.
Prepare a speech that you would give to a group of politicians, educators and activists about the importance of teaching and learning about American Indian History. You can utilize the history from pre-European contact to 2017 for this speech.
