Making Native American Lessons Meaningful.
Shaffer, Denise D.
Childhood Education, v69 n4 p201-03 Sum 1993
Notes how traditional classroom activities on Native Americans support stereotypes about Native Americans. To provide children with more meaningful learning experiences, recommends extending the curriculum beyond traditional themes by teaching children to think critically, identify stereotypes, make comparisons of past and present lifestyles, and understand cultural commonalities and differences.
