Contemporary Native Amercian artists like Terrance Guardipee and Juane Quck-to-See Smtih carry on the rich tradition of chronicling Indigenous culture while also embracing changes in artistic styles and media. This session encourages exploration of pieces that convey clear artistic intent, while observing others that retain enigmatic mearnings. Regardless, all artworks are stunning, powerful, and fascinating, offering insights into Indigenous heritage and artistic expression. Participants will explore new and engaging ways of integrating Indian Education for All concepts and projects into the art and social studies classrooms in a culturally responsible manner. Teachers will also engage in learning for the social studies classroom in how to use best practices in bringing indigenous art into the classroom to offer Indigenous perspective in history and storytelling. Lastly, teachers will engage with teachers in various activities in ways they sprinkle IEFA throughout their classes to break stereotyple and offer varying perspectives of art and artistic ideas while relating the subjective experience of the teller. With the inclusion of more and varied voices, histories are being rediscovered and revised. History told from American Indian perspectives frequently conflicts with the stories mainstream historians tell.
