As a WI public school teacher, YOU are required to teach about Wisconsin’s Tribal Nations!! In this session, we will dive into this crucial state law and learn about its origins and its key purpose. We will offer guidance on unlearning Native American stereotypes through literature and informational texts by evaluating materials using recommended criteria to check for authenticity and accuracy. Additionally, we will highlight resources that can be used across content areas and elementary grade levels, so that your classroom will not only comply with Act 31 but be an exemplar classroom for infusing Wisconsin Native American histories, cultures, treaty rights, tribal sovereignty, and contemporary happenings.
