The last week during the indian education for all activity, there were numerous things that I learned that I previously did not know. It was pretty remarkable that I have lived in Montana for 20 years now and did not know that there are 12 tribes lcated throughout the state. In addition to that I was unaware of the boarding school issue and the intent to try and get rid of all indian culture. It was shocking and I cannot imagine how those children must have felt. The IEFA activity was a very valuable one!
As an elementary teacher there are two activities that I would make sure to do. First off I would find information on the tribes that are located in YOUR state. That is applicable because it is more interesting for your students to learn about their state rather than some other state across the country. In addition to that I would find a video on a pow wow so they can get a better feel of how they work and the environment and all. That is very important.

I like the idea of showing where tribes are in the students' state. Not every state has a reservation, but I would imagine almost any area of America has had one tribe or another displaced from it. It's often quite amazing to see how many tribes actually existed versus how many are actually left.
