Participants will be given tools such as the proper terminology to use and appropriate activities and lesson plans to effectively teach this history in their classroom.  Guest Speaker: Maria Garcia-DesJarlait (Arikara\, Ojibwe)\, Mitchell Museum of the American IndianMaria brings her experiences growing up on her reservation and as a teacher to tell engaging and captivating stories that share important messages of empathy. Her writing gives the reader a better understanding of not just Maria’s upbringing but helps to build a bridge for any reader of any age to appreciate Indigenous cultures.This training supports the expected 2024-25 Illinois state mandate on teaching Native American history.Workshop Include \n\nClassroom Resources\n1.5 Clock Hours/CPDUs\n\nWorkshop is free and online over zoom.
