Indigenous Peoples’ Day Curriculum Teach-In (Teaching for Change)

The Smithsonian’s National Museum of the American Indian (NMAI) and Teaching for Change will host an online teach-in with a series of workshops and keynote speaker, Rebecca Nagle.

Rebecca Nagle is an award winning journalist and citizen of Cherokee Nation. She is the writer and host of the podcast This Land. Indigenous communities deserve the same standard of journalism as the rest of the country, but rarely receive it from non-Native media outlets. Nagle’s journalism seeks to correct this. From the census, to COVID, to the Supreme Court, Nagle focuses on deeply and timely reporting that sheds light on issues of national importance.

Professional development credits provided. ASL interpretation for keynote and selected sessions. Registration cost is $10. Each registrant who attends the teach-in will receive a children’s book by mail following the event.

Workshops will feature classroom resources from the NMAI’s online education portal Native Knowledge 360° and the Zinn Education Project. The teach-in will be held online via Zoom.
