Guide Entry to 26.04.03
This curriculum unit focuses on how protests evolved in America and how these protests apply to Navajo/Indigenous students’ situations today. The United States has a long history of protest, from the colonial era, to mining of the early 1900s, to the antiwar protests of Vietnam, to the No Kings protests in 2026. The protest traditions of Native peoples can be traced to the Indian Wars, and before. Now they have national issues confronting them with the environment and even Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Students will learn is that protest is common among all peoples, and that it is protected in the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. Yet this unit curriculum will focus on Native protests.
