Ami Shah, Jordan Native American Program
The Jordan Native American Program has created a presentation that will enlighten our students about the rich history and culture of Native American tribes across the United States.
They will explore the challenges Native Americans have faced throughout history and learn about how to show respect and support for Native cultures today. Through real-life examples of notable Native American leaders and artists, students will gain a deeper understanding of Native American contributions and the importance of using accurate and respectful language. This engaging and educational presentation aims to promote cultural awareness and respect among students.
For those interested in having our team come to their classroom to give this presentation, please fill out this Google Form, and one of our team members will contact you to schedule a date/time. It is encouraged to group classes together, so we can utilize our team's schedules.
