Description
The lesson focuses on the Native American Civil Rights protest campaign in the 1970s. It introduces the campaign by Indigenous people to gain equal rights and regain control of indigenous lands.
It has background on the work sheet and PowerPoint on exactly who the indigenous peoples of the Americas are. It briefly covers the conflict in the 19th century and primarily focuses on the growth of the RED POWER movement and the actions taken in the 1970s. There are tasks based on the siege at Alcatraz and the siege at Wounded Knee.
The lesson contains:
- an 18 slide animated PowerPoint.
- A double page information sheet/printable
- A full page sheet of questions and activities.
- An optional research homework on the significance of Mount Rushmore in the campaign.
- Links to relevant video clips.
How your students will learn:
- Your class will engage in independent study and class discussion all supported by teacher expertise based on the content and comments in the PowerPoint.
- The final task is to write a short essay answering the question:
'How successful were the Native Americans in achieving their aims by the
end of the 1970s?'
