On Indigenous People’s Day, Ali Meders-Knight and Mel Figueroa of TEKChico, in collaboration with Redbud Resource Group, present the history of 1492 that we wish we were taught in school. A Radical Guide had the privilege to handle the tech for this presentation.
Learning outcomes:
- Help children make good decisions, especially when it comes to respecting others
- Think critically about history and outcomes that still affect us today
- Understand how learning history from an indigenous perspective can help us today
