SEPTEMBER 4 ANNOUNCEMENT:
Good morning to you All, I hope that each of you is well and the week is going smoothly. I am deeply appreciative of your understanding of my not-so-smooth start yesterday and for Dr. Brunjes for stepping in to greet you. My parents are in their 90s—in fact, my mom is 96, and I am their health-care proxy. Yesterday, she had to go to the ER where I was with her until 9:30 last evening until she went to a room for overnight observation. It is not Covid-related. She is resting this morning, and I am waiting to hear more from the doctor. I tell you this to let you know that I understand how quickly our lives shift to unavoidable circumstances. Again, I thank you for your understanding. So I look forward to meeting with you on Tuesday, September 8. To that end, I have modified the homework for Tuesday asking that you read the Intro chapter to All the Real Indians Died Off and watch the videos. (If you cannot connect via the links just put titles into Google). On the syllabus it asks for a written response, but I am not requiring that this time. Please just take some notes—comments and questions—and be prepared to discuss these on Tuesday. We can also discuss the syllabus and the work of the semester, so have questions ready. I will also post this on the website and use that for any announcements as well. Readings due Tuesday, September 8
PLEASE WATCH THE VIDEOS AND READ THE INTRO TO "ALL THE REAL INDIANS" YOU DO NOT HAVE TO WRITE A RESPONSE, BUT TAKE NOTES AND BE PREPARED TO DISCUSS THESE.
Hi All-apparently, PBS has pulled the video. I will try to see if BSU has it to stream, but don't worry if you didn't get to see this:

Teach Beyond Thanksgiving Myth
"Inclusion of Native topics in the curriculum should be interdisciplinary and take place all year round," Smith told Education Dive by email. "Rather than tie into Thanksgiving, focus instead on Native Heritage Month, and then continue integrating respectful lesson plans during every other month of the year, too."
