The Native American Perspective

New Online Resources from Educational Options
Educational Options values cultural studies and believes multiple perspectives should be examined when learning about events in history. With that in mind, EdOptions partnered with leading educational experts from Northern Michigan University’s Center for Native American Studies to develop two Native American Studies courses: Historical Perspectives and Contemporary Perspectives. We also developed two new chapters in our American History course to focus on different historical perspectives in our country and how they’re developed, as well as a chapter dedicated to giving detailed accounts of the people, culture, and events that shaped the American continents.

These new resources were reviewed by many tribal representatives to insure a true survey of perspectives among the various groups in American Indian culture. By looking through a Native American lens, students can better understand the historical, cultural, and contemporary issues facing this people group today and learn about some of the inaccurate myths, false images, and distortions in existence. The main objective of these courses is to enrich the student’s knowledge and understanding by offering various perspectives on historical events.

American Indian Inclusion Manual
The American Indian Inclusion Manual was created as a guide for both Indian and non-Indian educators seeking to include the Native American perspective in subjects across the curriculum.

• Learn how to include American Indian concepts and issues across all subjects
• Expand cultural understanding and how to apply these concepts beyond the standard native studies curriculum
• Great educational strategies for both Native and non-Native educators
