Guiding Question: How has the nature of native women’s anticolonial resistance changed over time?

Big Idea: Anti-Colonialism

There is a long and ongoing history of native women who resist colonialism to preserve the heritage and legacy of their matrilineal communities in the nation-to-nation relationship that exists between Native people and the United States.

Students will explore changes and continuities in Native American resistance to colonialism through the lens of women’s experiences. They will demonstrate their learning in a visual timeline of native women’s resistance to anti-colonialism across four centuries of U.S. history.
