Indigenous People’s Day

  • What is Indigenous People’s Day, and why do we celebrate it?
  • Do you know what indigenous tribe lived or still lives in your area?
  • What are some past hardships that indigenous people faced? How did the Europeans treat most of them?
  • How did the native people used to live? What kind of houses did they have? How did they get food and clothes?
  • Should we celebrate Columbus Day? Why or why not?
  • What role do indigenous people play in America today?
  • How would America look today if Europeans had never settled here?
