Within Western formal education, Indigenous peoples’ stories have traditionally been told by colonizers, which perpetuates Eurocentric narratives like manifest destiny and distorts historical and cultural realities. Therefore, educators committed to decolonizing their classrooms must prioritize Indigenous voices, allowing Native peoples to tell their stories from their own perspectives. One powerful way to amplify Native voices is through the use of film and other audio/visual media created by and focused on Indigenous peoples.
