Curriculum

"Role models are some of the most powerful people in the world, no matter their position in politics or leadership, because they can influence the mind of the next generation. Accomplishments by prominent Native Americans are not often taught, leaving Native students to their own devices to learn about important and inspiring people like them."

– Evan Elise Roberts (Tlingit)
 President of the Association of Native Americans at Yale University

Together WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE!

Curriculum of the National Native
American Hall of Fame

Leaders in Indian Education have a responsibility to improve learning standards and to be inclusive of the Indigenous perspective. Working with project partners and supporters, the Native Hall of Fame’s library of educational resources and instructional support systems will change the learning outcomes for students.

We are working to bring modern history to life by sharing stories of successful Native Americans in classrooms across America. Our Lesson Plans can improve the confidence of tribal youth, teach tolerance, and share the cultural diversity of tribal communities in a positive way.

Miigwech!
