NA Slavery in LA Lesson 5 Lesson Plan

Subject

Pre-European Contact/First Contact
"Westward Expansion"

Description

In this concluding lesson, students will review information from previous lessons covering the onset of Native American enslavement, the role European figures like Bartolomé de las Casas played in this enslavement, the horrors of Native mistreatment, and the ways in which Native Americans resisted European colonization and enslavement. With this information in mind, students will begin to think about the ways the vestiges of this era in history manifest in today’s society. Ultimately, this lesson will result in students writing a letter to the school district to persuade officials to provide more holistic information about Native American slavery in secondary schools.
