#InTheNews: On Friday, Sept. 27, the California state government recognized Native American Day, and announced the signing of several bills that advance tribal priorities. Bill AB 1821 "will require elementary through high school education regarding the Mission and Gold Rush periods to include the treatment and perspectives of Native Americans, providing students a fuller picture of the state’s history." Our Native Knowledge 360° education team is ready to support California educators in fulfilling these new requirements! Two of our newest resources focus primarily on the experiences of Native peoples of California during the Gold Rush and Mission periods. "The Impact of the Gold Rush on Native Americans of California" is an inquiry lesson that provides primary sources, maps, images, and background history to offer 8th-12th grade teachers and students insight into a little-known but vitally important aspect of one of the most iconic events in American history. “California Native American Survival and Resilience During the Mission Period” is an inquiry lesson that provides primary and secondary sources, maps, images, background history, and objects from our collection to offer 4th grade, and 7th-12th grade teachers and students insight into California Native American resilience during the Spanish mission period.#Educators can find these resources and more to transform teaching and learning about Native Americans on our site: https://lnkd.in/gCuYBtW2 #NativeAmericanDay #Education #California #NK360

What a great #ClimateWeek event yesterday at the National Museum of the American Indian. More than 200 educators gathered to listen, learn and exchange ideas about Educating for Climate Action. Inspiring and hopeful! I was honored to welcome attendees to the Smithsonian last night at our networking reception. Hats off to Jennifer Brundage and other colleagues from Smithsonian Institution, NOAA: National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration and the Wild Center for creating such a thought provoking and joyful event! -

This month, Smithsonian Institution educators from the Museum on Main Street program and youth development professionals from National 4-H Council are kicking-off the 2024 Stories 4-History program in Kentucky, Missouri, New Jersey, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, and Virginia. This new program is one element of a larger ongoing collaboration between the Smithsonian and 4-H that aims to provide an opportunity to elevate youth voices from rural communities across the country. Throughout this 10-week program, 4-H members between the ages of 13-19 engage in a civic engagement project that amplifies local stories of democracy, centering on topics that matter to today’s youth, like social issues, civic engagement, environmental awareness and more. With support from the Smithsonian and 4-H leaders, members will conduct research and interviews to create a video project that will be featured on the Smithsonian’s website, and with their local communities. #SmithsonianEdu📸: Pictured here, 4H members from the Westmoreland County gather for their first meeting to discuss their Stories 4-History projects in Greensburg, PA with Smithsonian staff and their leaders.
