Indigenous History Committee

Purpose: Study various aspects of Native American history, heritage and culture (e.g., food, family, agriculture, art, music, and storytelling) and tribal impact (e.g., migration, political, military) on our nation’s history. 

Program: Explore how Indigenous children and their communities were involved in and impacted by the Revolutionary War.

Ideas for Possible Activities: 

1. Explore revolutionary period art, and how Indigenous cultures used art to express themselves and create your own. 

2. Describe the daily life of Indigenous children during the colonial period, i.e. timeline, chore chart, journal entry, or drawings. 

3. Discover why Indigenous nations participated in the Revolutionary War and the factors that influenced their decisions. 4. Learn about Indigenous tribes in your region and their contributions to local culture. 5

. Acknowledge the ways the American Revolution changed the course of history for Indigenous children. These are just SOME ideas for possible activities for this contest. We encourage and would like to see you create something new and exciting with your society for your submission.
