If you are on Facebook and you aren't a member of the Teaching Montana History Facebook group, you are missing out! Here are some of the cool things relating to Indian Education for All that have been posted over the last few months.
- Crow author gets recognition in Library of Congress, an article about the picture book Elk Morning at the Battle of Arrow Creek, which was "selected to represent Montana in the Library of Congress "Center for the Book" to promote book-reading, libraries, and literacy nationwide." (OPI's Indian Education Unit has model teaching units for grades 1-4 for both this book and for Elk Morning Counts His First Coup.)
- Following the Footsteps: The long history of hunting in south-central Montana, an article by Apsáalooke scholar and educator Shane Doyle about the hunting expertise of tribes around Yellowstone, discovered through ice-patch archaeology. (Check out this lesson Shane created for grades 7-12 on ice-patch archaeology.)
- Montana PBS Learning Media's video clips from Indigi-Genius, a series that focuses on the "scientific and cultural impact of Indigenous creations and knowledge."
- Films available to show to your classes through the Native Film Initiative Film Club.
- "The Echo of the Bison," a podcast from Planet Money about the decimation of the bison in the nineteenth century, the consequences of the slaughter, and efforts to bring them back.
Happy exploring!
