Instructional Ideas
- The TEDEd video is powerful and disturbing; be prepared to offer assistance as needed
- Designed for Indigenous Peoples' Day on October 12, the lesson plan is also appropriate during November's Native American Heritage Month

- Projection equipment with the internet is needed for the videos
