Groundwork for Teaching Indigenous Enslavement – w/ the Turtle Island Social Studies Collective

To better understand the United States' past and present, we need to better understand Indigenous identities—and our classrooms play a huge role. This starts with examining what's missing from our social studies, history, civics and government curricula. Throughout this episode, we reference the K-5 Framework for Teaching Hard History as we shed light on key topics like sovereignty, land and erasure.
