As the nation observes Native American Heritage Month, Teaching Tolerance offers a wealth of activity ideas tied to Thanksgiving, Native mascots, and indigenous people’s proud heritage of resistance. Native American activists use civil disobedience and consensus-building to resolve an old dispute over environmental resources. This resource provides the story of a 14-year-old Nisqually Indian boy named Billy Frank Jr. and provides questions for discussion and written response after students read his story.
Teaching Tolerance is dedicated to reducing prejudice, improving intergroup relations and supporting equitable school experiences for our nation’s children. Our teaching materials have won two Oscars, an Emmy and more than 20 honors from the Association of Educational Publishers, including two Golden Lamp Awards, the industry’s highest honor. Scientific surveys demonstrate that our programs help students learn respect for differences and bolster teacher practice.
