Samantha Cholewa Tondreau and Reflecting on the Local History We Teach
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Samantha Cholewa Tondreau, Director of Curriculum & Instruction for The Mohegan Tribe, guides us into a reflective mindset on how the education system in Connecticut teaches Native American history. To debunk the assumption of a shared narrative, Samantha recommends educators acquire and utilize resources from locally-based Tribes to motivate inquiry-based thinking for lessons in local history.
