Two quick words of caution:

  1. Archival documents often contain terms, phrases, and biases that reduce, minimize, or alter Native identities and views of the world.
  2. This project is not “complete” — numbers shown represent only what has been entered into this database, not the total number of Natives who were enslaved or unfree in any given area.

Welcome to the Curriculum Page!

Our curriculum seeks to help high school teachers and students bring light to the often hidden history of Native American slavery across the continent. We have created material to help supplement existing curriculum by delving deeper into historical nuances. We hope that this makes it easier to pick and choose what is relevant to your classroom.
