Goals:
  • Consider whether the past oppression of Native Americans and the current status of Native Americans in general justifies Affirmative Action programs
  • Prepare for the seminar: Bring together everything you've learned this project!

Starter:
  • Read page 1 of THIS DOCUMENT on Affirmative Action for Native Americans
  • Given what you  know about Native American history, why do you think we have Affirmative Action programs for Native Americans?

DEFINITION OF AFFIRMATIVE ACTION: An action or policy favoring those who tend to suffer from discrimination, especially in relation to employment or education.

For your reference:
  • Additional Resource that lists reasons for Affirmative Action and types of Affirmative Action programs
  • Bureau of Indian Affairs list of Welfare programs for Native Americans

Agenda
1. As a class look at the charts on page 2 and read aloud pages 3 and 4.

2. Discuss: Reactions to this article? How might you incorporate this into your seminar prep? 
Essential Question for seminar is: "How can an examination of multiple sources and perspectives lead to a more enlightened understanding of history, and contemporary social, cultural and political realities?"

3. Review Seminar Prep Guidelines

*Note: I will be available in class, from 3:15-4:00 today, lunch Thursday and SIG Thursday if you need additional seminar prep help.

Note: you must observe one seminar and take notes on significant points made to use in your final project reflection.
  • Group 1 observes Group 2
  • Group 2 observes Group 3
  • Group 3 observes Group 1

4. Sign up for Osprey Week (see your AHS emails)

Susy will post the Osprey Week groups on Dec. 3, the Wednesday after the break.  The first meeting of your Osprey Week will be on DEC. 10, during the PEAK meeting time first thing in the morning.
