Learn more about Indigenous cultures, in Wisconsin and beyond, with PBS multimedia collections like
Molly of Denali and
Wisconsin First Nations. These free, standards-aligned resources span all grade levels and readily work to fulfill Act 31, which requires all Wisconsin public schools to teach the history, cultures, and tribal sovereignties of its First Peoples. These resources provide the means to
teach culturally rather than teach about culture. Each collection includes authentic perspectives regarding historical and contemporary Indigenous peoples and their ways of life by examining various forms of informational texts including videos, maps, games, learning apps, and historical documents.
Learning Goals- Learn about the wide variety, spanning grade levels, of Indigenous-focused multimedia educational resources from PBS
- Consider new ways to integrate Indigenous-focused resources into your existing curricula and/or to build personal background knowledge
- Connect Indigenous-focused resources and lesson-planning ideas to the mandates of Act 31 to ensure culturally responsible, complaint teaching in your learning space
