Let's Celebrate Native American Heritage Month With This Amazing New Site Filled With Reading, Learning, Resources & More From Our Friends At Capstone!

 

We are all so excited to celebrate Native American Heritage Month in November. This is a time to celebrate the rich and diverse cultures, traditions, and histories and to acknowledge the important contributions of Native people.

I will be sharing several different ways to celebrate this special month, but the first resource I am going to share is Capstone's special Native American Heritage Month website. In fact, I will be using the Capstone site and resources as we plan celebrations, learning and activities around this content, and as we smash it up with other digital tools such as Kahoot, Pear Deck, PebbleGo Create, StickTogether, The Achievery and so much more. 

As shared on the Capstone site, 

November is Native American Heritage Month, also known as American Indian and Alaska Native Heritage Month, and is a time to honor the traditions, historical legacy, and culture of Native Americans and Alaska Native people. It is a time to become more educated about the full, complex history of colonization and oppression, as well as celebrate the contributions and achievements of Indigenous peoples from the past and of today. One resource we highly recommend exploring is the Smithsonian National Museum of the American Indian and its Native Knowledge 360° project.

How can you celebrate Native American Heritage Month? Capstone authors Katrina M. Phillips (citizen of the Red Cliff Band of Lake Superior Ojibwe) and Andrea L. Rogers (citizen of the Cherokee Nation) have some great ideas to get you started. We also are shining a spotlight on our children’s books by Native American and Indigenous authors—including a sneak peek at our forthcoming series Liam Kingbird’s Kingdom—and have some fun downloadable bookmarks for your classroom or library. Join us in honoring Native American Heritage Month this month and throughout the year.

This year Capstone is excited to share several additions including....

....an introduction to Liam Kingbird, a new upcoming series from Capstone, 

and a little preview; 

two amazing articles from Capstone authors; 

fun Educator Resources and Downloadables including Liam Kingbird's Kingdom Bookmarks and Wilderness Ridge Bookmarks

...and a place to look at Capstone Books by Native American and Indigenous Authors. 

I am so excited about all of these amazing resources as I create a choice board to share on November 1 with our students and teachers, and as we plan activities and learning too. 

I will be sharing the Native American Heritage Month this week, and all of the other resources and ideas throughout the month too.
