This open-source curricular resource was developed by Dan Eshet of Salem State University in partnership with The Organization of American Historians/National Park Service. It includes some sources from the Library, but could also be supplemented with additional LOC.gov resources. 

    There are six chapters in the curricular resource (see below) along with suggested classroom strategies, a brief timeline, and a glossary.

    1. Identity: Stereotypes and Choices
    2. God, Greed, and Violence: Colonialism
    3. War, Treaties, and Betrayal
    4. The Legacy of the War of 1812
    5. Indian Boarding Schools in the Age of Assimilation
    6. Resilience and Resurgence

    I've added this resource to this curated set - Primary Source Learning: Native American Perspectives.
