This BLOG is a place where I present lesser known truths (some may call it "revisionist history" - I just call it history) and perspectives about the Indigenous People of the Western Hemisphere, which are not easily found in other places. I address a broad range of Native American issues, with a focus on my Nation, the Arawak (and the Taino Nation), Massachusetts (where I live), and social activism/responsibility (related to NA's). I recommend many of these resources in courses and workshops I teach about Native Americans - book lists, websites, video clips, music/songs, curriculum ideas, and other thoughts thrown in for explanation…

Multicultural Imperatives (Lists of Resources)
I teach several courses under the
broad topic of "Multicultural Education," prioritizing social justice
issues of access, power/privilege, & narrowing the academic
achievement gap. I am a person of color and I almost always have a white
co-teacher. We include topics, such as: racism, sexism, heterosexism,
ableism, ethnocentrism, deculturalization, transforming curriculum, etc.
This is a place where I post information that we teach; lesson plans
for activities; and resources we use and/or which are shared with me by
my adult students.
Here are RESOURCES and LESSONS I use when TEACHING ABOUT
SOCIAL JUSTICE - especially race, ethnicity, and culture can be found HERE.
