My name is Lauren and I teach grade level US History and APUSH.
I am really looking forward to Dr. Tsim Schneider's presentation about sources for teaching Indigenous Resilience in Colonial California.
I just so happen to be teaching about Indigenous history this week in my APUSH class. We are going to be discussing the historical controversy regarding California's decision to remove the statue of Junipero Serra in the U.S. Capitol. I will let you all know how it goes!

, I think you might enjoy some of the materials and ideas posted in the Teaching Native American History group, which is a relatively new group in the TPS Teachers Network. I created an album there last year called Indians and the California Gold Rush, but it would be great to see more about Junípero Serra, the impact of missions, and other indigenous experiences specific to California. Feel free to join the group!
Awesome! Thank you so much for putting this on my radar -- I will be sure to check it out :)
I will be very interested in how your advanced placement U.S. History students take on the discussion of the decision to remove the statue from the U.S. Capitol. Thank you for planning to share it with us!

I think they really enjoyed it. I think it helped that we had really defined what public history was (and wasn't) during our previous lesson! Students were really interested in how different stakeholders viewed the statues differently. Today, we expanded on that conversation during our discussion of confederate statue monuments!
