A new bundle of Anishinaabemade learning resources is now available for educators and students in Michigan to utilize in their own school curriculum.
Aaron Chivis, cultural department manager and Grand Traverse Band of Ottawa and Chippewa Indians member, was one of many Indigenous community members from throughout the state that came together to provide cultural knowledge and insight to make the new school curriculum material what it is today. The project was completed through collaboration efforts between the Confederation of Michigan Tribal Education Departments and the Indigenous Education Initiative at the Michigan Department of Education.
Earlier this month, Chivis saw the first bundle of lesson plans published and distributed since starting on the project several years ago, even bringing some of those copies to share with the public during Indigenous Peoples’ Day activities at the Old Art Building.
