The PAT Social Justice Committee, in partnership with the PAT Racial Equity Committee, has put together a list of resources for Native American & Indigenous Peoples Heritage Month. This includes lessons you can do with your students, book ideas, and more.

We can all make sure that students recognize that Native American and Indigenous history is American history, and this should be continued to be taught in the classroom all year. Please visit our website to find resources. 

We encourage you to add a land acknowledgement to your school routine. You can use this website to find what ancestral land your school is located on. Making a land acknowledgement is taking time to recognize the tribes that once lived where our schools now sit. Information about land acknowledgements can be found here.  

We also continue to expand our own library of virtual story-time with BIPOC PAT members. If you are an indigenous educator, please consider volunteering for the PAT Racial Equity reading project. Complete this form if you would like to volunteer to read a book (any grade level) for Indigenous Peoples' Heritage Month.

The book must contribute to Indigenous cultural understanding and expand our collective knowledge of the contributions of Indigenous people in our larger society. PAT can even provide the E-Book! Please check out the book lists on our website for ideas of what to read.
