US History Through an Indigenous Perspective

Funded Jun 23, 2024

Thank you so much for choosing to donate to my project. As we move forward in US History, it is so important that we work towards spotlighting non-dominant perspectives so that students are able to better understand the truth of our country's past and present. My hope that is with the use of An Indigenous Peoples' History of the United States for Young People, we will be able to do this at Edison High School.

We have already started using the books, and they have sparked some great conversations and questions. During our group reading of the introduction, the students were curious and posed a lot of questions, and spoke up about how this information was not part of the traditional story that they have been told about the United States. The introduction of this book and the level of engagement thus far has me feeling optimistic, and I am looking forward to continuing to process our history with my students.”
