Teaching Native America Across the Curriculum

This book examines the multiple ways that concepts associated with Native North American indigeneity can contribute to creative and critical approaches to the process of teaching and learning. A must-read for all pre-service and in-service teachers, the book illustrates how applying these new perspectives to the process of teacher education can shed light on new possibilities for curricular reform. This text will be especially useful to social studies educators interested in interdisciplinary approaches to critical curriculum development.
