Bringing Native American activities into the classroom not only honors diverse voices but also helps students explore themes of identity, family, and connection to the natural world. Whether you’re teaching during Native American Heritage Month or weaving Indigenous texts into your curriculum all year long, these Native American activities will help your students engage with stories that are meaningful, relevant, and thought-provoking.

We will discuss these Native American activities:

1. A novel
2. A short story
3. A poem
4. A research activity
5. A creative writing prompt
