TRANSFORMING TEACHING AND LEARNING ABOUT AMERICAN INDIANS Thursday, Nov. 1 2 p.m. – 5:30 p.m. Rasmuson Theater Live webcast at: AmericanIndian.
si.edu/multimedia/webcasts Do you remember the first time you learned about American Indians in school? If you are like most Americans, you probably received only a tiny glimpse into the rich and diverse cultures, histories and contemporary lives of Native peoples. You may even have learned inaccurate histories, and demeaning and false stereotypes. Join us for a symposium in which expert speak- ers explore how to transform this narra- tive and inspire a more comprehensive vision of American history and a richer understanding of our shared experience as a nation. Learn more about NMAI’s national education initiative, Native Knowledge 360°, in which the Museum and its partners among Native nations and in the education community are producing a wealth of information and materials to demonstrate that American history cannot be understood without understanding American Indian events – and that by engaging in more complete histories we can build an empathetic and better informed citizenry.
