Learn about Native truth and justice

It's National Native American Heritage Month [View as Webpage]( [National Education Association]( [EdJustice]( Hi {NAME}, Every student, whether Black, brown or white, Native or newcomer, deserves to learn the truth about our country’s history so that they may learn and grow to build a better society and a brighter future. For too long, too many of us have been given little or inaccurate knowledge of Native American history. It’s only getting worse due to the wave of extreme right-wing activist organizations and lawmakers pushing book bans and censorship of classroom lessons that are honest about the truth of our history—the good and the bad. This National Native American Heritage Month, let’s commit to teaching students honestly and accurately about Native history and the people whose land we occupy. [Use and share these resources to help guide how you teach and talk about Native Americans with your students.]( [Find Teaching Resources ➤]( By exploring NEA’s resources, you can find lesson plans that not only address Native history, but can impact Native students day to day. As educators, we expand our students’ knowledge of other cultures by continuing to expand our own. We also center the voices and experiences of our Native American students, colleagues, and communities in our learning and our classrooms. NEA has curated lessons that cover topics such as cultural appropriation, respectful language, and the many past and present contributions of Native Americans. Together by teaching honest and accurate history, we can foster student empathy, prepare students to learn from diverse experiences, and develop the skills to make a better future. This November—and all year long—let’s learn deeply about Native peoples whose land we occupy and build power together for our shared future.
