Native Slave Trade Lesson 5 Lesson Plan

Pre-European Contact/First Contact

This lesson will guide students through various historical interpretations of the Sand Creek Massacre, including paintings and oral history about the massacre, as well as traditional textbook descriptions of the Massacre. Through this lesson, students will understand how different types of historical documents provide different insights into events. Specifically, they will understand why textbook descriptions cannot capture the entire reality of history, and we must rely on other types of information to get a more nuanced, complete story.
