The History of the Flathead Reservation
Indian Education for All Online Course
This self-paced online Moodle course explores the history of the Flathead Reservation. The text used in this self-paced book club targets high-school-aged and adult readers; however, teachers of all grades and content areas will build background knowledge and learn instructional strategies that will facilitate the integration of Indian Education for All.
The primary texts are:
• Bigart, R., Woodcock, C. (eds.) (1996). In the Name of the Salish & Kootenai Nation: The 1855 Hell Gate Treaty and the Origin of the Flathead Indian Reservation. Pablo: Salish Kootenai College Press.
• Salish-Pend d’Oreille Culture Committee. (2003). A Brief History of the Salish and Pend d’Oreille Tribes. St. Ignatius: Salish-Pend d’Oreille Culture Committee.
• Salish-Pend d’Oreille Culture Committee and Elders Cultural Advisory Council. (2005). The Salish People and the Lewis and Clark Expedition. Lincoln and London: University of Nebraska Press.
• Vanderburg, Agnes. (1995). Coming Back Slow: The Importance of Preserving Salish Indian Culture and Language. Pablo: Salish Kootenai College Press.
Through readings and examinations of high-quality and authentic literature and teaching materials, participants will explore a variety of literature and professional teaching materials and develop strategies and two lesson plans for the immediate integration of IEFA into their classrooms.
This course is the equivalent to 30 classroom hours (30 OPI professional development units), which is the equivalent of 2 university credits. This is a self-paced course, but do not expect to complete it in one sitting! Course participants must be comfortable working independently and be self-motivated to complete all work within the flexible time frame. WE RECOMMEND THAT YOU DON'T REGISTER FOR MORE THAN TWO COURSES AT ONE TIME.
